The Rangers are averaging seven runs per game in their last seven games. The Indians are averaging five runs a game during their past six contests.



Both teams have bullpen fatigue issues and the starting pitching matchup is 35-year-old Colby Lewis versus Carlos Carrasco. Lewis clearly has seen better days. The right-hander has given up 10 earned runs in his last two starts spanning 11 2/3 innings. He has a 6.75 career ERA versus the Indians in seven appearances, including six starts.



The over has cashed 12 of the last 17 times the Indians have faced a right-handed starter.



Carrasco still hasn't turned the corner to being a consistent top starter. He's had four bad performances and two decent ones during his past six starts. He also carries a 7.29 lifetime ERA in five appearances, including three starts, versus the Rangers.



The offenses should be boosted by a 15 mph wind blowing out to right. Jeff Nelson is the scheduled home plate umpire. The over has cashed four of the six times he has been behind the plate this year.
