The Detroit Tigers go on the road to take on the Texas Rangers. Matthew Boyd will take the mound for the Tigers. He is 5-5, with a 5.37 ERA this season. The Rangers will send Andrew Heaney to the mound. He is 5-4 this season with a 3.98 ERA. Boyd is 2-1 in his last three starts but has posted a 5.82 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP in those starts. Heaney is 1-1 over his last three with a 3.77 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. The Tigers have struggled at the plate all season and it gets worse on the road. They are second to last in the league in runs scored away from their home stadium. Texas ranks in the top 10 in several key pitching categories. The Rangers have won four of their last five series there, including two sweeps at home. They have won two of their last three games at home. Detroit is 15-22 on the road. Heaney has posted a 2.55 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP over six starts at home this season. I like the Rangers not only to win at home but cover the run-line.

Play on Texas-minus 1.5 runs.
