MLB Baseball Betting - Struggling Rangers Face AL Foe Tigers
The Texas Rangers,
(7-14, 10-10-1 O/U) have struggled mightily
to find Major League-quality pitchers
the last several years and have hired
former star and Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan
to help get the team back on track after
multiple years of failures that have
been caused primarily by their lack of
quality pitchers.

MLB Baseball Betting Tips!
Maybe the Rangers should have hired
Ryan to pitch as the team has been getting
some absolutely atrocious performances
from their entire pitching staff.
After calling
Wednesday’s game
correctly in the BetUS Sportsbook, the
Rangers have now lost five consecutive
games and eight of their last ten, including
Wednesday’s whopping 19-6 loss
to the Detroit Tigers, (8-13, 11-10 O/U)
as starting center fielder Curtis Granderson
made his return to the Detroit lineup
after missing the season’s 21 games
because of a broken finger on his right
hand.
The Rangers
will get another dose of bad news as
the Tigers will get another starter
back in the lineup for tonight’s
contest in second baseman Placido Polanco
as they try to complete a sweep of their
three-game series.
The Rangers, who have allowed a whopping
29 runs in two games against the Tigers,
will send Triple-A hurler Scott Feldman
(0-0, 4.50 ERA) to the mound to make
his second career start after allowing
three runs on eight hits in six innings
in his first major league start on April
13, a 5-4 loss to Toronto
The right-hander made 55 appearances
as a reliever for the Rangers over the
last two seasons.
Detroit right-handed starter Jeremy
Bonderman (1-2, 4.37 ERA), had a solid
performance in his last outing despite
picking up a 3-2 loss, limiting the Toronto
Blue Jays to three runs on five hits
and six walks in five innings.
The Rangers have lost 11 of their last
13, fueling speculation that manager
Ron Washington's job may not be safe
much longer.

"Any time a team is in a losing
streak, the manager's job is on the line," Washington
said. "It falls on me when the team
isn't playing well. I'm the manager ...
that's the way it goes."
Granderson had an historic season for
the Tigers in 2007, becoming just the
fourth player in major league history
to record 20 home runs, 20 doubles, 20
triples and 20 stolen bases.
"It's coming along good. Very positive
for us," Detroit catcher Ivan Rodriguez
said. "It's a lineup, from 1-9,
we can hit."
