MLB: Wednesday's 8 p.m. ET plays

Play: Texas +1.5 -130 (Sanchez vs. Saunders)

Time: 8:05 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Rangers would be 44-32 if they were given 1.5 runs per game. The Tigers would be 28-45 if they gave 1.5 rpg. Texas has worn out Anibal Sanchez. In four career starts he is 1-3 with a 6.98 ERA. Detroit is scoring 0.72 less rpg vs. LH. In the last five games Rangers relievers have a 3.46 ERA and Tigers relievers have a 6.43 ERA.


Play: Atlanta -126 (Wood vs. action)

Time: 8:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Collin McHugh is fortunate his ERA is where it is, because he has a 1.50 WHIP in his last three starts. McHugh has walked 11 in his last three outings, and men on base can be troublesome in the bandbox known as Minute Maid Park. Alex Wood has a 3.43 ERA and eventually has to get some run support. The Braves have scored zero runs in three of his seven starts and one run in two others. Houston's bullpen is a mess. It has a 4.75 ERA overall and a 7.11 ERA in its last five contests. Braves relievers have a 3.43 ERA overall and a 1.80 mark in their last five games.
