Dunkel
Texas at Boston
Boston finished its road trip in disappointing fashion by dropping three straight in Seattle to finish with a 4-5 record. The Red Sox will try to bounce back at home tonight against Texas. But Beantown starter Tim Wakefield has not been overly effective in recent weeks, posting a 7.08 ERA and allowing opponents to hit .289 in his last eight starts. And despite being shut down by Kenny Rogers yesterday, the Ranger offense has been hot, winning six of seven while scoring 57 runs and knocking HRs in 10 straight. Texas looks like a good underdog pick in this one (+240) according to Dunkel, which has the Rangers favored straight up by 1. Dunkel Pick: Texas (+240). Here are all of today's games.
