The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a slight favorite in this game. The Rangers have been starting to play a lot better in their recent games as they have been winning a lot more. The Tigers are just a bad team who have one of the worst records in the MLB this season, and the worst offense as well. They have been awful on the road this season and they are throwing out a rookie pitcher here who has not made many MLB starts in his career, but he has been very bad in the few starts he has made. He has been allowing a lot of runs in his starts, coming off of another start where he allowed a lot of runs, and this Rangers offense has been heating up lately. The Rangers will be able to take advantage of the pitching for the Tigers here and score a lot of runs on them in this game. The Rangers also have a rookie starting in this game but he has actually been good in his few starts as he does not allow many runs and he will likely continue that success against one of the worst lineups he is going to see all year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

"Different numbers. I'm a different pitcher than last year. I think how I've been using the strike zone is amazing and we're not done yet." - Martin Perez after their win against the Rangers on Wednesday.
