The set-up: The Rangers held on for a one run victory last night and I think they'll find a way to get the job done here as well. The vistors hand the ball to the out of form Sean Manaea (1-2, 6.39 ERA) who comes in off his first win of the year, allowing one run over five innings vs. the lowly D-Backs. Previous to that he'd allowed three or more runs in each of his first four starts. I'm not convinced Manaea is "all the way back" though.

The pick: Kyle Gibson (1-2, 4.73) won't be lacking for motivation here after allowing five runs over five innings in a no-decision to the hard-hitting Padres on Thursday. Gibson was 13-7 with a 4.74 ERA for the Twins last year, but note that he was 8-4 with a 3.55 ERA before the All Star break. I like Gibson to outlast Manaea here and I love the Rangers to build off yesterday's victory.

This is a 10* PLAY-BOOKE on the Texas Rangers.
