T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers - Run Line

Proj Starters - Andrew Heaney (9-6, 4.27 ERA) vs. Pablo Lopez (9-6, 3.51 ERA)

I like the Texas Rangers to win this game against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. Coming into this series off six straight losses, the Rangers have a lot on the line. Their top AL West seed is slipping and they can't afford to lose anymore. Today, they'll see Pablo Lopez. He struggled in his only outing against the Rangers last season going five innings and allowing five. After having some time to reflect with the day off yesterday, expect Texas to get the job done here today.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Rangers.

Line: +1.5, -180

Line Parameter: play until +1.5, -220..
