Stephen Nover's Total of the Month
(MLB) Texas vs. LA Angels,
Total: 9.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
All signs are in place for these two teams to combine for double-digit scoring.

The Rangers are averaging 7.2 runs during their last 10 games. The Angels are averaging 5.8 runs in their past six games.

Rangers starter Martin Perez has a 5.26 ERA. Perez is a bottom-of-the-rotation type starter and not a very good one. His ERA is even higher when pitching at Angel Stadium where he's 1-3 with a 5.47 ERA in four lifetime starts.

The Angels have dealt with numerous pitching injuries so up from the minors comes Troy Scribner to start here. He's replacing JC Ramirez. Scribner had a 4.35 ERA for Salt Lake in Triple A this season.

Both bullpens are vulnerable and carry high fatigue ratings. Rangers closer Alex Claudio worked two innings throwing 32 pitches in last night's extra inning game. The Angels are still searching for their closer.

The weather forecast is for a slight wind to be blowing out. Adrian Johnson is slated to be the home plate umpire. The Over has cashed 63 percent of the time during the 48 times he's been behind the plate the past two seasons.
