MLB Lines: The Cleveland Indians have resembled a stock that unexpectedly performed too well last year as an upstart wild card team and is now falling back to its actual level and value as a regular money loser on the board. The Texas Rangers have been a frustrating team for handicappers due to their lack of consistency. The Texas Rangers will host the Cleveland Indians at Globe Life Park in Arlington Saturday afternoon with coverage on FS1 starting at 4:05 PM ET. The probable starting pitchers are right hander Josh Tomlin for the Tribe and Yu Darvish for the Rangers.
Not Paying the Hotel Bill
The Cleveland Indians have been one of the worst teams with the MLB lines when it comes to road games as they were 9-19 on the road. Cleveland ranked 21st for staff earned run average, 21st for quality starts, and made the most errors in Major League Baseball. The Tribe was among the worst run line teams on the board.
Not Paying Mortgage
The Rangers were break even at 13-13 with the MLB lines at home which made them a money loser as a regular home chalk. Like Cleveland, the Rangers pitching was a big problem as they ranked 27th for earned run average and 29th for quality starts while ranking 25th for fewest errors committed. Texas slipped to 15th for run production and 28th for team home runs. The Rangers were an abysmal 24-33 on the run line and with metrics that simply cannot sustain success. Texas went over the total in just 9 out of their first 26 home games.
