5* Best Bet
(MLB) Texas vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: 132.00 Texas (Away)
Result: Win
Taking the RANGERS here. Texas picked up Hamels last year to be a horse and a stopper and that is exactly what they need here to stop the bleeding of a 3-11 run. I didn't believe in Lackey when he had a great run in May and I am not believing in him now. He has been roughed up in 3 of his last 4 starts and I think that is what we will see from the 37 year old the rest of the season. Hamels is 6-1 with a 2.09 ERA on the road. 48 hits allowed in 60 innings. Texas 24-6 in Cole's last 30 starts, 11-4 last 15 on the road. I think we have the edge on the mound here. 5* Best Bet TEXAS RANGERS
