TranslateTexas Rangers

This is simply too good a price to pass up on the Rangers at home with Mike Minor on the mound. Minor has been one of the Texas' best starters this season and he's coming into this matchup with a strong 2.41 ERA and 0.696 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He's also been at his best this year at home, where he's got a 3.33 ERA and 1.027 WHIP in 12 starts.

Last time out Minor completely shutdown a hot A's team, allowing just 1 hit over 6 shutout innings. It's been a wise move backing Minor off a strong outing like that, as he's 26-10 against the money line in his last 36 starts after allowing 1 or fewer runs in previous start. Minor is also an impressive 23-13 in his last 36 as a dog of +150 or less.

Alex Wood will take the mound for the Dodgers and he's not fared well in this spot. Wood is just 3-7 in his last 10 as a favorite of -150 or more and 9-17 in his last 26 when his team is riding a winning streak of 3 or more games. LA is also 0-4 in his last 4 interleague starts.
