I like the Rangers here as under dogs particularly because they have roughed up Lester who has struggled big time at home and I don't see an end to that in site as he posts a 6.96 ERA at home including giving up 7 ER in 2 innings to Texas earlier in the year. He's on 4 days rest after throwing 105 pitches and the active line up for the Rangers has 40 hits and a .323 average with 5 HR. They'll start 7 right handed bats to whom Lester has allowed an .844 OPS too. The Rangers are one of the best vs. LHP and are scoring 9.62 runs per over their last 10 games alone. Boston meanwhile has not seen a lot of Dempster although he pitched a gem 7 innings 0 ER while with Chicago this year. Their line up is 8-49 with a .163 average. I'll take the odds and go with the Rangers tonight.
