Pick
I’m on the Rangers here. I just can’t trust the Cardinals and their inconsistent offense. Sure, St. Louis made a game of it in the later innings on Monday, but the Cardinals once again found a way to disappoint and the Rangers found another way to pick up a W. Dane Dunning has been solid since rejoining the Rangers’ rotation and I think he keeps his run going with a win at home in this one. I’ll side with Texas.
