The 7-3 Rangers travel to Pittsburgh to face the 3-6 Pirates. Dunning (4-0, 0.89 WHIP) starts for Texas. Dunning has taken a huge step this year. He is consistent and delivers length in his starts. His ERA in May is an impressive 1.59. He will face a recent call-up, Pirates righty Ortiz. With two rough short starts so far, he has more walks than K's to date. The Rangers are top four in OPS over the last two weeks while the Pirates are down in the depths at 28th. In spite of the Rangers' poor bullpen, I am taking Texas on Monday. With superior offense and a much stronger starter, they will steal this one on the road.
