Rangers were clearly looking ahead to this game after getting beat 10-0 yesterday. Now they return home where they have been dominant especially vs. LHP which is what they get on Monday when Erik Bedard comes to town. Bedard two solid starts v.s the Rangers this year but he has been pitching at home vs. the Rangers and pitching in Texas is a different story they lead the league in OPS at home with a .852 and vs. LHP they have a .298 average and 7.22 runs per 9 vs. LHP at home while the Sox have a .769 overall OPS on the road and vs. LHP just .234 with 4.04 runs per 9 vs. LHP which they'll face in CJ Wilson who has dominated them. Wilson has 1.35 ERA over 4 starts in his career vs. the REd Sox and he should have any easier time with the possibility of no Ellsbury and Ortiz and Youkilis already out of the middle of that line up. That's a huge advantage for Wilson who is 11-1 in his last 12 as a home favorite -110 to -150. Rangers overall are 22-7 in their last 29 as a home favorite. As I mentioned Bedard at Texas is a different story in his start this year it came in April in his first start of the year he gave up 5 runs in 5 IP including 2 hr in his start before that he gave up 11 base runners over just 2 innings giving up 6 ER.
