Jesse Chavez has been used as an opener this season, but he will be making a legitimate start today. He is 2-1 with a .58 ERA in his last 21 appearances and went five innings giving up one run in his last outing. Jordan Zimmermann is 0-4 with a 6.03 ERA. In one start since returning from the IL, he went four innings allowing three runs. The Rangers are 16-4 as the favorite and 3-0 as the road favorite. The Tigers are 11-25 at home and 6-22 as the home dog. Lay the road favorite.
The Rangers have been favored only 20 times this season. But when they are, they come through, winning on 16 of those occasions. They're favored again on the road against the Tigers and starter Jordan Zimmerman, who is 0-4 with a 6.03 ERA. Texas wins nearly 80 percent of my computer simulations, an extremely high number for a road team and a solid value at this price.
