| PICK: Texas Rangers |
| REASON FOR PICK: Note: This was my 9* TOP PLAY on Monday, but the game was postponed due to rain and will be played as Game 1 of a double-header on Tuesday. The Rangers stumbled in Baltimore over the weekend, losing on both Saturday and Sunday, bringing an end to their 4-game winning streak. A trip to Cleveland should be beneficial as they've taken five of six from the Indians this season, and just won two of three here at Progressive Field in the second week of August. Texas is playing without two of its best hitters in Josh Hamilton and Michael Young right now, but there are plenty of guys capable of picking up the slack in their absence. Note that Hamilton has struggled all season, so he's not as great a loss as most might think. The Indians have a big injury of their own to deal with as Grady Sizemore will miss the remainder of the season. Sizemore had really picked up his game lately, collecting hits in 14 of his last 17 games. He leads the team in both home runs and runs scored so obviously he's a big loss. Even without Sizemore, the Indians managed to take two of three from the division rival Twins over the weekend. They did so despite scoring only nine runs over the course of the 3-game series. They've now scored three runs or less in four of their last five games, and I don't need to tell you that won't get it done on most nights against the slugging Rangers. Tommy Hunter has been a solid pitcher to back this season, as the Rangers are 8-5 in his 13 starts. Despite posting a 2-3 team record, Hunter has been outstanding on the road, recording a 2.20 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. He pitched 7 2/3 innings of shutout ball in a 5-0 Rangers victory here in Cleveland on August 12th. Carlos Carrasco makes his second start of the season for the Tribe. His first didn't go so well, as the Tigers tagged him for nine hits and six earned runs over three innings last Tuesday. He allowed three home runs in that game, which doesn't bode well for him on Monday. The Rangers currently sit three games back of the Red Sox in the A.L. Wild Card race, so they obviously need to make hay here in this series. Look for them to get it done against an Indians team that has won just twice in its last seven games. Take Texas. |
