Solid line value in this game as my power ratings predict 10.8 runs and my pitcher performance rating indicate a below average outing for both starting pitchers. Texas is also a strong offensive team at home this season where they average 6.0 runs per game and bat .285 as a team.
Texas starter Kevin Millwood had a strong April, but it appears he is starting to weaken as he has struggled in his past two starts, allowing 7 runs in just 13.7 innings with a negative 6-8 strikeout/walk ratio.
