The Texas Rangers will look to avoid being swept at home by the Cleveland Indians tonight when they send southpaw Cole Hamels to the hill in in the final game of a 3-game set. Hamels was his usual stellar self in 2016, posting a record of 15-5, with an ERA of 3.32, and Texas is 18-4 in his last 22 home starts. The Indians will counter with Danny Salazar, who was a solid 11-6 in 2016, with an ERA of 3.87. Against the American League West, the Indians are 1-5 in their last 6 when Salazar is on the hill. Marty Foster is behind the dish tonight and Cleveland is 7-21 in their last 28 with him calling the shots. Texas avoids the sweep.
Tonight’s pick:
Texas Rangers
