Randy’s Pick

The Texas Rangers are the better team and Nathan Eovaldi has been dealing this season, but the Tigers continue to have value in the underdog role. The Tigers’ offense has picked up over these last 2 weeks and that gives them a fighting chance most nights. As long as the Tigers continue to put up crooked numbers, I’m giving them a look in these spots, especially at home.
