(MLB) Arizona vs. Texas,
Total: 10.50 | 105.00 Over
Result: Loss
Lance Lynn to win the AL Cy Young Award? Don't laugh. Lynn is in the discussion. The right-hander has the most wins in the league and is eighth in strikeouts. Lynn is in great form, too, with a 0.82 ERA in his last three starts spanning 22 innings. Lynn has 26 strikeouts during this time frame. The Under is 8-2 in Lynn's last 10 starts.

Arizona's team batting average is 40 points lower when facing righthanders instead of southpaws. Lynn is 6-0 lifetime versus the Diamondbacks with a 2.80 ERA in 12 appearances, including 10 starts.

The Diamondbacks have scored an average of just 3.4 runs in their last five games.

Rookie lefty Alex Young is slated to start for Arizona. This will be his third big league start. So far he has been great with a 2-0 record and 0.68 ERA giving up three hits in 13 1/3 innings. The Rangers rank last in batting average against lefthanders hitting just .233 against them.

The Rangers play in an outstanding hitter's park. But some of that edge is negated by the weather forecast calling for winds of 10-to-11 mph blowing in.
