Tigers vs. Rangers Game 6 Free Pick
(The Spread) – The Tigers will once again put their season on the line when they visit the Rangers at 8:05PM ET for Game 6 of the ALCS.
Odds: Oddsmakers have installed the host Rangers as –144 money line favorites over the visiting Tigers, who are +136 on the ML. The over/under total for tonight’s 8:05PM ET start time is set at 9 runs.
Pitching Matchup: Detroit’s Max Scherzer will take on Texas starter Derek Holland in tonight’s pitching matchup. Scherzer took the no decision against the Rangers earlier in this series, allowing three runs on six hits over 6.0 innings of work. The Rangers went on to win that game 7-3 thanks to Nelson Cruz’s grand slam in the bottom of the 11th inning as Holland took the no decision while allowing three runs in just 2.2 innings of work.
Public Betting: Of the 4,500-plus wagers on tonight’s game, 63% of MLB public bettors currently favor the Rangers. This information is subject to change, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most updated public numbers.
MLB Free Pick: Take the over. According to latest MLB trends, the over is 9-2-2 in the last 13 meetings between these two teams in Texans and 10-1 in Holland’s last 11 home starts versus a team with a winning record. The over is also 17-4-1 in Holland’s last 22 starts as a home favorite and 9-2 in the Tigers’ last 11 games as an underdog. Both of these pitchers have a habit of pitching inconsistently and if this turns out to be an off night for either of them, the scoreboard will light up. Cruz has been a monster at the plate and the Rangers are one of the best-hitting home teams in the league.
