The Rangers will send their ace to the hill this evening in hopes of salvaging a game in their four-game set with the Baltimore Orioles. Yu Darvish (8-4, 2.42) gets the call for the Rangers against W.Y. Chen (7-3, 4.19) and the Orioles. While this season has been a struggle for the Rangers, Darvish has been terrific and produced six starts already where he has not surrendered a run. The Rangers are 14-3 in Darvish's last 17 starts as a favorite and 9-1 in his last 10 starts when he has four days rest. The Orioles haven't handled the role of a home underdog lately, where they are 3-9 in their last 12 games in that situation. This is a bit of a value play as well as you will not be able to get Darvish at -115 very often and Chen is coming off a performance last time out which was less than stellar, surrendering five runs in just over three innings in a loss to Tampa Bay. We think Darvish helps the Rangers salvage a game in this series and as a side note, we would also recommend sprinkling in a little bit on the Under here as well. The Sharps say...
3 UNITS - TEXAS RANGERS (-115)
