MLB Odds: Rangers -110, 11

Toronto Blue Jays

(34–36)

The Toronto Blue Jays are on the road for the third of four games with the Texas Rangers Wednesday night.

The Blue Jays have allowed 12 runs in this series and five or more runs in six of their last seven games. The Toronto Blue Jays have lost five of their last seven games when allowing more than three runs.

Joe Biagini takes the ball and makes his ninth start of the year for the Blue Jays in this matchup. He is (1–6) with a 4.26 ERA, a 1.158 WHIP, 13 walks and 48 strikeouts over 57 innings of work. Biagini had a rough outing in his last start, lasting only 1.0 inning after giving up 6 ER, 7 runs total, on 8 hits and 33 pitches.

The Blue Jays were hit with the injury bug early this season and part of their problems stem from inconsistent hitting. They rank near the bottom of the Majors in runs per game (4.27), batting average (.244) and OPS (.730).

Blue Jays Betting Trends

• Over is 5–2 in Blue Jays last 7 overall
• Over is 16–7–1 in Blue Jays last 24 games following a loss

Texas Rangers

(35–35)

The Texas Rangers look to stay hot after winning eight of their last 11 games. The Rangers scored six runs in Tuesday’s win and four or more runs in 10 of their last 13 games.

Tyson Ross gets the ball tonight and he is 1–0 with a 3.18 ERA and five strikeouts this season. Ross is 0–1 with a 4.32 ERA and three strikeouts in his career against the Blue Jays. Ross missed 14 months after thoracic outlet surgery.

Elvis Andrus leads the Rangers with 79 hits and 38 RBI while Nomar Mazara and Rougned Odor have combined for 129 hits and 77 RBI.

Rangers Betting Trends

• Over is 4–1 in Rangers last 5 vs. American League East
• Over is 9–3 in Rangers last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record
• Over is 10–4–1 in Rangers last 15 home games

Blue Jays vs Rangers Total Pick

The Rangers offense has picked up recently and facing an unstable Biagini, it should be a stat padding type game for the Rangers. The Blue Jays are facing Ross who has pitched once this season which means he should show signs of rust, providing scoring opportunities for the Blue Jays. I like the Over 11 runs in this matchup as both teams are facing unreliable pitching.
