Offense has come at a premium in the Texas Rangers' most recent games, as the team and their opponents have combined for an average of 6.1 runs per game in their past nine outings. This has been a boon for totals bettors though, as the UNDER is 8-0-1 during that span. The Rangers will continue their home-and-home series with the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field Tuesday.
- Mitch Moreland and Nomar Mazara will be in the Rangers’ lineup after not playing Monday.
- The Rockies are 5-17 in their past 22 games against the AL West.
- The Rockies are 12-4 against the runline in their past 16 games.
The long ball has been causing A.J. Griffin plenty of issues since returning from the DL, as the righty has surrendered at least one home run in each of his eight starts since coming back from injury. In Griffin’s last outing he allowed three solo home runs while lasting 5.2 innings.
The DL seemed to negatively affect Tyler Chatwood as well, as the Rockies’ pitcher has a 4.94 ERA in his past six starts since returning. Coors Field has been specifically bad to Chatwood with the righty posting a 5.54 ERA in his past four starts at home.
