Probable Pitcher: Jon Gray (1-2, 5.56 ERA)
Gray will be on the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Rangers. Gray yielded five runs on five hits and three walks over six frames in Friday's win against Oakland. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
BETTING TRENDS
Tampa Bay are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games against Texas.
Tampa Bay are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Texas' last 5 games.
Texas are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games.
Prediction
Ryan Yarbrough slowed down a bit the Rangers offense as they could only score 3 runs in the last game but it was enough to win the game thanks to Martin Perez performance. This time the Rangers will send Jon Gray who has been pounded all season so expect the Rays to get some runs early in the game and Springs should hold the Rangers enough to help the team to win the game.
