Maybe the Giants are playing above their heads. Or maybe they are for real. All I know is San Francisco has the best record in baseball. The Rangers own the third-worst mark in the majors.

Texas is 1-11 in its last 12 games. The Giants are 7-2 in their last nine games. They have won 10 of their past 11 road games.

Alex Wood goes against journeyman Jordan Lyles. Wood is 5-3 with a 3.48 ERA. He is 2-0 lifetime versus the Rangers with a 0.86 ERA in three career starts versus Texas.

Lyles is 2-4 with a 5.75 ERA. He is 4-5 career-wise against the Giants with a 5.31 ERA in 22 appearances, including 10 starts. 
Wood is my clear choice above Lyles, but this is an action play for me. I want the hot Giants against this bad and cold opponent especially when the line is reasonable like it is here. 

The Giants did suffer a major injury with Evan Longoria being put on the injured list with a shoulder strain. The good news for San Francisco is it expects to get back Brandon Belt.
