7:10 PM EST. We literally wrote an essay yeterday on why the Rangers should be faded and so we’re going to continue with that here. The Rangers with their great record and best pitcher going will absolutely draw a lot of attention here against a bottom feeding Tigers squad.

Mike Minor (LHP - TEX) has given the Rangers eight innings in two of his last three starts and comes into this one as one of the majors top pitchers. After 16 starts, Minor brings a 2.53 ERA with 103 K’s in 102 innings into this one. Dude has been dealing it since opening day and looks like free money against the Tigers. After all, Texas has won three in a row and four of five while the Tigers have dropped five straight and nine of their past 10. This market sees Minor and Texas at a small price against Detroit and they are going to pound the Rangers all day long.

Matthew Boyd (LHP - DET) is continuing on his path towards a breakout season. He posted a strong 2.55 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 35 innings during May but a 4.82 ERA in June has his stock falling. We’re here to tell you that Boyd was better in June with 38 K’s in 28 innings, a 3.34 xERA and a 14% swing & miss rate. Only one team in MLB has struck out more times than the Rangers, thus Boyd has a great chance to snap the Tigers losing streak.

Perhaps the most telling is the “Pinnacle factor”. At the time of this writing (10:00 AM EST), Pinnacle had the Rangers lower (-104) than every other sportsbook on the planet. Even when the prices were rising on the Rangers, Pinnacle was holding firm at -104. That’s a sharp book “taking a position”.
