Texas Rangers -1.5 (+105) over Detroit Tigers
The best offense in baseball against one of the worst pitchers in the game? Sign me up. The Rangers offense has been mashing in the last 2 weeks and average 7.1 runs per game in their last 10. They just put up 10 runs yesterday on 13 hits, and they get to face an even more hittable pitcher today. That pitcher is Joey Wentz, who has a 7.80 ERA with a 1.66 WHIP and has been even worse in the last month. During May, the lefty has a 9.80 ERA with a 2.02 WHIP in 5 starts. Wentz doesn't strike many hitters out, gives up a lot of hard contact and gets barreled nearly 10% of the time. Those aren't great qualities against a Texas offense that mashes left-handed pitching. Through the first 2 months of the season, the Rangers lineup has a 129 wRC+ which ranks 3rd in baseball. They also rank 2nd in on-base percentage, 5th in slugging percentage and 3rd in OPS against southpaws, so Wentz should be in a long day, but also a short one, on the mound.
