This will be just his third career start in the majors. In his last start he went five and third innings giving up three runs on three hits two of which were homeruns in a 7 to 3 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Rangers will send Cole Ragans to the mound with his 0-2 record and his ERA of 3.80. This will be just his sixth career start in the bigs. Texas has lost three of his las four outings, but he has only given up one run in his last two starts. Although he only lasted three innings in his last start. Ragans has faced Oakland this season that came back on August 17th in that game he allowed three runs over five innings in a 7 to 2 loss. Our TPR Index projects a run total of 11.02 runs. The SIM Matrix has the OVER with a 69.22 percent advantage against the oddsmakers total. With solid support for the high side of the oddsmakers total we will play this one to sail over that number in Texas tonight. OVER
