The Texas Rangers will try to stay one step ahead of Boston and Cleveland for the best record in the American League when they conclude a 3-game home set tonight with the Milwaukee Brewers. Cole Hamels gets the call for the Rangers and he is having another outstanding season with a record of 15-5, an ERA of 3.30, and a WHIP of 1.31. Texas is 4-0 in Hamel’s last 4 interleague starts and 17-4 in his last 21 home starts. Milwaukee will send Chase Anderson to the hill and he is 9-11 on the season, with an ERA of 4.36, and a 1.35 WHIP. The Brewers are just 1-4 in Anderson’s last 4 road starts and they have also struggled on the road in interleague play, winning just 4 out of their last 14 contests. Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun sat out last night’s game with a wrist injury and is questionable for tonight. Texas should get this one.
Tonight’s pick:
