Rangers (-115)

Jacob deGrom is pitching for the Rangers and he’s lost 3 in a row but I still like his match against the Blue Jays lineup who he held to 2 runs over 5.1 innings earlier this season. The Rangers lineup has been quiet in recent games but they have good numbers vs Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt hitting .308 in 65 at bats. Bassitt has been hit pretty hard in a few of his recent starts so I like the Rangers to get to him tonight. 

7:10 EST

Red Sox ML / Astros ML (+128)

The Red Sox had a funk in their recent road trip but they return home to Fenway Park where they have the 3rd best home record in the league this season. They are facing the Marlins and Sandy Alcantara who has been bad all season but especially bad on the road with an 8.87 ERA. 8-2 Lucas Giolito is pitching g for the Red Sox and he’s quietly having a great season especially at home where he’s only allowed 1 earned run in his last 27 innings pitched! The Astros will have Framber Valdez going who has a 1.65 ERA at home this season. 0-6 Brandon Young who consistently goes out and gets rocked. The Astros haven’t faced him yet but they are licking their chops for this matchup tonight and so am I.
