Eric Thames hit a walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the ninth Friday night to send Milwaukee to a 6-5 victory over Texas.

MLB Betting Trends

Texas

The Rangers are 1-5 in their last six road games. Texas is 1-5 in its lst six Saturday games.

Milwaukee

The Brewers are 4-1 in their last five home games. Milwaukee is 0-4 in the last four Houser starts.

Prediction:

With the Rangers in a slump and sending a rookie to the mound today, I don't like their chances. While Houser hasn't been spectacular as a starter, he should receive ample run support. I like the hosts here and would consider taking the runline.
