Expert Betting Tips
I'm going to have to go with the Texas Rangers in this final game. However, you could definitely build a convincing argument for either side of the issue. Gray has pitched two decent games recently, but they have not been his best, as he has allowed six earned runs across 11.0 innings on 11 hits while also walking five batters. As for Medina, he has allowed seven earned runs in a total of 11.2 innings pitched over the course of his last three starts. Although Texas got only five hits in the game on Saturday, they managed to make each one of them count. However, the Texas Rangers have only scored a total of 10 runs over the course of the last four games. During this time period, their rivals have scored 34 runs. Because of this, Texas will need to earn a crucial victory here in order to get their bats going for the final games.
