Free MLB Pick
The Rangers have won 7 of their last 8 games overall and face an ice cold Red Sox team that has lost three straight and 6 out of their last 8. These two team teams played a three-game set at Fenway a week ago with Texas taking two of the three games. Boston calls up lefty Eduardo Rodriguez for a spot start and he was decent in the minors with a 4-3 record and 2.98 ERA, but he faces one of the better hitting teams versus left-handed pitching. Texas counters with the young right-hander Nicholas Martinez who has been close to brilliant in his 9 starts.
