(MLB) Texas vs. Cleveland,
Money Line: -111.00 Texas (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 1* Free Play on the Texas Rangers.

The visiting Rangers will go with Yu Darvish (10-6, 2.90 ERA) who has won two of his last three starts. Darvish pitched seven innings of two run ball to beat the Yankees on Monday. The Japanese born hurler has a 3.79 ERA in three games started against Cleveland. The Tribe will go with Trevor Bauer (4-6, 4.35 ERA); Bauer was hit hard in last outing, giving up five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Mariners. Note Bauer gave up four earned runs in 6 1/3 innings his only start versus Texas. This is a clear pitching mismatch, note that of the 57 outs Darvish has recorded against the Indians, 30 have been via strikeout. Darvish is the only Texas pitcher to beat Cleveland for a reason this season, he is that good. This line seems fishy to me, I think Darvish is severly undervalued in this spot.
