Texas starter Martin Perez has a 4.78 ERA on the road. Detroit's Akil Baddoo is hitting .327/.441/.571 with three doubles, three home runs and 14 RBI over his past 18. Detroit has drawn four-or-more walks in nine straight games, the team's longest streak since a nine-game stretch from April 20-29, 2008.

The Rangers cruised to a 5-0 win in the series opener Monday. They had 10 hits along the way, while the Tigers had just five. That could continue to be a theme throughout this series considering the Rangers have the third-highest OPS in baseball, while the Tigers have the third-worst. The Rangers have also hit the ninth-most home runs, which is noteworthy for their matchup with Alex Faedo, who has allowed 13 homers over 75 1/3 career innings. Look for the Rangers to slug their way to another victory.

The Rangers are sizzling hot going 17-8 in May despite a horrible bullpen. They’re 20-13 after a win on the season and 34-19 overall. Lefty Martin Perez takes the mound as the Rangers are 7-3 behind him and the Tigers have won only five games against lefties this season. The Tigers are 1-3 behind Alex Faedo. I’m on the Rangers to keep winning.
