Rangers -126 4* MLB POD
The Rangers have been on fire and will face the Mariners who are playing for pride. The Rangers are 20-6 in their last 26 road starts by Derek Holland they are also 42-15 in their last 57 vs. the AL West and in Hollands last 3 starts in Seattle he has a 0.83 ERA. Holland has clearly pitched well on the road this year posting a 2.74 ERA, but he's done even better against the Mariners in his career in 170 total AB they have a .553 combined OPS. They are ranked 29th in OPS vs. LHP and Holland is also on 5 days rest where the Rangers are 24-8 in his last 32. He posts a 2.32 ERA on 5 days rest and has 11 of 13 quality starts on the year. The Rangers bullpen has also been better than the Mariners which posts a 5.25 ERA over their last 10 which is important because Iwakuma has been very good.

The problem with Iwakuma though is he's going up against a hot line up and he's pitched worse in the second half with an ERA over 4 while he pitched with an ERA under 3 in the first half. Ian Kinsler and Adrian Beltre are a combined 14-36 off him and it should be enough to get them some runs to get a win on the road.

Rays -135 2* bonus
Roberto Hernandez is a guy that can give you quality innings if he's well rested which he clearly is right now. He has a 3.89 ERA when he's on more than 5 days rest this year he's also been better than his numbers posting a 3.55 x FIP and he has a 2.20 ERA in 11 career games vs. the Angels. Meanwhile CJ Wilson who has been good but not nearly as good on the road faces the Rays who are #2 in OPS vs. LHP. Wilson has a 5.53 ERA in 5 starts against teams with an OPS over .750 vs. LHP. The Angels are also 4-17 in their last 21 vs. a winning team while the Rays are 41-15 in their last 56 vs. a losing team.
