Now on a 53-40 roll with the plays I'm giving away! For today's complimentary play, we're looking at the Texas/Cleveland match up.

Rangers need to stop the bleeding, and they get just what the doctor ordered facing a Cleveland club they've owned this season, with a starter who had his best game of the season against them. Read on...

Texas is a stellar 5-1 against the Tribe this season, and included in those wins is a real gem from Rangers rookie Tommy Hunter. He tossed 7 scoreless at Progressive Field back on August 12th, allowing 6 hits, while striking out 5 without issuing a single walk! Note, he's been a true road warrior this season, going 2-1 with a 2.20 ERA on the highway, including a quality effort in his last roadie at the Metrodome. Look for more of the same tonight!

On the flip side, rookie Carlos Carrasco gets the nod for the Tribe, and based on his debut, I wouldn't expect much here. He got tagged for 6 runs on 9 hits in just 3 innings at Detroit Tuesday, and although the Rangers offense has been down of late, they'll get more than their share of oppurtunities against the young righty in this one. Sorry Indians-backers but I just wasn't impressed, and that's not too surprising based on his rather ho-hum numbers coming out of Triple-A this year (11-10, 4.64 ERA).

Bottom line, this game (and series) has become critical for the Rangers, and with a wet-behind-the-ears rookie getting the start for Cleveland, the Rangers cannot afford a letdown here. Look for Texas to make it 6-1 against the Tribe after tonight, as Tommy Hunter once again locks down this Indians offense tonight. Rangers roll!

Take Texas behind Hunter over Cleveland and Carrasco in this MLB match up.

3♦ TEXAS
