The Texas Rangers have not been playing well and have lost 13 of their last 16 games and will try to pick up a win against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team that has won six of their last nine games. The rangers will send Dane Dunning to the mound to face the Dodgers vaunted lineup. This season, he has posted a 2-4 record with a 4.26 ERA and 61 strikeouts. It will be his first career game against the Dodgers. The Dodgers will counter with Walker Buehler on the mound. He has posted a 5-0 record this season with a 2.56 ERA and 72 strikeouts this season.

The Rangers are 12-43 in their last 55 road games and 6-22 in their last 28 overall. The Dodgers are 45-17 in their last 62 home games. Buehler is unbeaten in 21 starts. Dunning has pitched well enough this season to give Texas a chance to win. He’s allowed two runs or fewer eight times this season and has gotten a total of three runs of support of his last two starts combined. I still like the Dodgers in this one and will lay the 1.5 runs.

Play on the LA Dodgers, Minus 1.5 runs.
