I'll back the Rangers against Dane Dunning (4-0, 1.67 ERA). As said below, the Rangers have been hitting lefties pretty hard. They should face an easy opponent today in Joey Wentz, who's 1-5 with a 7.80 ERA. The Rangers have outscored the Tigers 15-6 in the first two games of this series. Back the Rangers to sweep the Tigers in game three today.
The Rangers have been hitting lefties well, so they should have success today with Joey Wentz, who has a 7.80 ERA. Now, Dane Dunning has definitely been solid, but the Tigers have still had six of their last seven go over. So, while Dunning may be able to keep them somewhat in check, it's tough to see him shutting them down completely. Take a chance on the over today for even money.
Dane Dunning has started well for the Rangers, it’s just that the bullpen can’t hold a lead. In four starts so far he’s given up four runs combined but the Rangers have won two and lost two thanks to the bullpen blowing leads. But today’s bet on the Over is more about betting against Joey Wentz who has given up 11 runs combined between his last two starts -- both Over. Just the Over.
Lefty Joey Wentz has had one decent start this month, against the weak-hitting Guardians. He has a 9.30 ERA in May and now has to face the Rangers, who rank third in OPS against southpaws. Detroit just placed leading hitter Riley Greene on the IL, compounding the Tigers' outfield problems with Matt Vierling already sidelined. Back Texas on the run line at even money.
No Riley Greene for the Tigers, and he had been hitting really well. Joey Wentz is 1-5 with a 7.80 ERA. Texas owns the highest win percentage in MLB during May (18-8, .692) and starts MLB ERA leader Dane Dunning (4-0, 1.67).
The Rangers have exploded for 15 runs over the first two games of this series. That should come as little surprise, given that they have scored the most runs in baseball. The Tigers are expected to roll with Joey Wentz on the mound, either as their starter or as a bulk reliever following an opener. He has been dreadful, posting a 7.80 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP over 42 2/3 innings. The Rangers will deploy a much better option in Dane Dunning, who has a 1.67 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP over 43 innings. Look for the Rangers to complete the sweep.
