4/5 MLB: Boston Red Sox at Texas

[swole]

In betting circles, handicappers will tell you home dogs pack a mean bite. The Rangers will be looking to sink their teeth into the favored Red Sox and Jason Beckett on Wednesday as moneyline underdogs.

Sporting a 1-1 overall record and a 0-0 mark within the division, the Rangers aim to knock the Red Sox (0-0 in the division) for a loss.

The Red Sox come in as slight 140 road favorites and look to improve on their 1-1 road mark for the year. The Rangers, 1-1, are 1-1 at home and will try to bite big as a dog. Totals bettors see the line opened at 10.

Buck Showalter's troops were at home against the Red Sox last game and came away with a 10-4 win, a game that went over 10. Oddsmakers had them as 115 favorites.

Some trends to consider:
Boston is 3-4-3 OU in its last 10 games away against Texas
Boston is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Texas
Texas is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 games against Boston
Texas is 5-2-0 OU in its last 7 at home
