The read
I’m taking Texas on the moneyline. Anthony Kay owns a 3.13 home ERA, while Jacob deGrom carries a 5.01 road ERA, so I’m not asking the Rangers to cover -1.5. At -110, I only need the cleaner side to win.
Texas sends seven right-handed hitters against Kay, who has allowed righties a .280 average and .836 OPS, compared with .188 and .526 against lefties. The Rangers bat .253 with a .745 OPS against left-handed pitching; Chicago bats .237 with a .723 OPS against right-handers. DeGrom has also produced 13 innings, three earned runs, 22 strikeouts and three walks across his last three starts, compared with Kay’s 17⅓ innings, seven earned runs, 14 strikeouts and three walks.
The late innings settle it for me. Chicago’s bullpen has covered 19⅓ innings and allowed 13 earned runs over the last three games; Texas relievers have worked 10 innings and allowed four. Chicago’s two busiest available relievers have each thrown 87 pitches across two appearances, while no Texas arm worked both of the last two game days. I’m not chasing yesterday’s 11-2 margin. I’m backing the right-handed lineup, deGrom’s recent form and the better-positioned bullpen to get Texas across the finish line.

Props on this game
2Brenton DoyleUNDER 0.5 H+R+RBI H+R+RBI+118
LActual 4
I’m taking Doyle to finish without a hit, run or RBI. He has stayed under this number in 11 of his last 15 games, going 3-for-23 with only two runs and one RBI during that stretch. He is batting eighth and has not drawn a walk in those 15 games, limiting his easiest route to scoring without a hit.
The matchup makes the plus-money price attractive. Doyle owns a .213 average and .533 OPS against right-handed pitching, while deGrom enters with 22 strikeouts over his last 13 innings and elite swing-and-miss secondary pitches. At +118, I only need this blank line about 46% of the time.
Anthony KayOVER 4.5 Pitcher Hits Allowed Pitcher Hits Allowed-125
WActual 6
I’m taking Kay to allow at least five hits. He has reached that number in six of his last eight starts, including five hits over five innings in his first meeting with Texas.
The Rangers are sending seven right-handed hitters at him, and that is the vulnerable side of Kay’s split: righties have batted .280 with an .836 OPS against him. Foscue, Duran and Burger have each hit at least .270 against lefties, while Seager and Nimmo also own favorable left-handed pitching splits. Kay has completed at least five innings in six consecutive starts, so there should be enough exposure for this lineup to get five.
