The Texas Rangers own the best American League record at home, 41-21, and they’ll try to put another notch in their belt when they take on the Cleveland Indians today. Derek Holland, the “Dutch Oven”, gets the call today for the Rangers. Over his last 3, he is 0-1, with a 5.14 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP. The Indians are going to put Danny Salazar on the hill. Salazar has been struggling and cannot find his command. Over his last 3, he is 0-2 with a bloated ERA of 19.29 and a WHIP of 3.29 and that’s not good. Cleveland is 3-7 in their last 10 meetings with Texas, and the Rangers are 6-2 in Holland’s last 8 starts against the Indians. I like the Dutch Oven and company today.
Today’s pick:
Texas Rangers
