5*
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Texas,
Total: 11.50 | -112.00 Under
Result: Loss
The bats were quiet for the Rangers on Saturday with just 6 hits.

The total was 12 on Saturday and they scored 10. I see 10.5 on Sunday and I expect more runs here.

So the oddsmakers are basically indicating what they expect here, and the Texas bats are hot and they've lit up righties at home.

I think Sunday's matchup is the perfect storm for the game to go over the total. Flaherty has been a mixed bag when it comes to his results, but it's not hard to see that he's a much better pitcher at home than on the road, with 2.48 ERA at home compared to 7.23 on the road. On the other hand, Smyly still doesn't look quite settled, giving up four runs in four of his last five starts. I like the offenses to come alive in the series finale on Sunday so I'll side with the over.
