Money line (ML)
The TIGERS (-115) are a decent play on their home field, as they look for their sixth consecutive victory. They have dominated the Rangers so far in this series by outscoring them 18-1 in the first two games.
Texas has had a power outage lately. The Rangers have plated just 3 total runs across their last five outings while averaging just 1.4 runs per game across their last eight.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
On the ALTERNATE RUN LINE the TIGERS -1.5 (+165) is a good play at plus money. Detroit has hit the run line in each of the five games during its win streak, including one time as a favorite on Tuesday.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 9 (-115) is the slight lean here. Texas may be having a difficult time scoring runs lately but the Tigers are having no such issues – they’ve scored a total of 40 runs across their last six outings. The Tigers pitching staff has yielded just 1 run in the last three games and 5 total runs in the last five.
