T.M. Selection: Cleveland Indians.

I like the Cleveland Indians to beat the Texas Rangers on Friday. They won 6-1 over the Royals in their last game and managed to take 2 of the 4 games in that series. Eli Morgan (4-7, 5.27 ERA) is starting for them here and he has had some solid starts lately. He has let the other team score 1 run against him in his last 2 starts and, other than 1 bad start where he gave up 7 runs, he has not given up 2+ runs in his last 5 starts. The Rangers will have Spencer Howard (0-4, 7.04 ERA) starting and he has been terrible lately. There has been 3 occasions in his last 5 starts where he has given up 4+ runs. Eli Morgan has been showing improvement in his last few starts after starting off his rookie year with a rough start. Howard is just too inconsistent as he will give up no runs in 1 game and then 6 runs in the next and it has been on ongoing theme for him all year. I like the Indians to get the win here.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Indians.
