CLE went 31-20 in games started by lefties last yr but i like Hamels here to avoid the sweep.

TEX-0.5 / OVER 8.5

Rangers have too much fire power to get swept week1!!! Hamels on the mound too, forget about it!

Rangers home dog!!!

TEX -0.5

Texas may win here ,it's  not  a pick, but the  Rangers will have a subpar season, as Houston and the Angels overtake them.

Royals will not make the playoffs again either. Boston is going to be very  dangerous with adding Sale, and  they still have   better hitting than even Toronto in the AL.

TEXAS SHOULD STEAL ONE HERE.......................
