Major League Baseball Top Exposure April 18: Rangers

The Texas Rangers were seeing around 90% of the action on the money line as a -103 favorite.  Tampa Bay had opened as a -120 favorite so the oddsmakers are definitely being reactive here.

The away team has won eight of the last ten in this series and the Rangers have won five of the last seven against the Rays.

Rangers LH Cole Hamels (1-2, 4.50 ERA) did not factor in the decision last time out at World Series champion Houston despite his first quality start of the season, tossing six innings of two-run ball. He is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts versus Tampa Bay.

The Rays RH Jake Faria (0-1, 8.18) allowed only one run in four innings in his season debut versus Boston, but he was pummeled by the Red Sox in the rematch six days later, lasting 1 2/3 innings and getting rocked for eight runs.

We won't have a play on this one.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
