8* RANGERS RUNLINE (SPECIAL)

What Justin Verlander is doing this season is incredible. Regression is imminent though at some point, and today is the day in my estimation! It's impossible to find any faults in Verlander's game this year, as he's 15-3 with a 1.73 ERA and 0.85 WHIP. The Rangers went 2-2 against Cleveland over the weekend, but won the opener here 7-5 yesterday. The Rangers and Glenn Otto are going to hang tough again here on Wednesday as well. Otto is 4-8 with a 5.31 ERA. He's slowly been regaining his form since returning from COVID, and he's 0-1 with a 3.48 ERA in 2 starts vs. the Astros this year. Some minor regression from Verlander, combined with some minor improvement from Otto sees this one being decided late, or even in extras; and because of that, the play is indeed Texas on the runline option!
