The Rangers dropped 2 of the 3 games in an interleague series over the weekend against the San Francisco Giants, another NL West Division team.
Texas has lost 2 straight series, although it won its most recent series on the road in Miami, including a pair of shutout victories.
The Under has cashed at a 6-2 clip in the past 8 games, and a 14-4-1 pace in the previous 19 outings.
The Dodgers took 2 of 3 from the New York Yankees on the road over the weekend, atoning for a series loss in Pittsburgh prior to that.
At home, Los Angeles has managed a 2-3 mark in the past 5 outings.
The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games with Los Angeles averaging 6.8 runs per game (RPG), while allowing 5.4 RPG.
The southpaw Paxton was rather shaky last time out for the Dodgers (-162), as he got tuned up in Pittsburgh.
He just hasn’t been very good in his past 3 outings, allowing 11 earned runs and 13 hits with 6 walks across just 9 1/3 innings as his ERA has ballooned from 2.84 to 4.19 since May 17.
The Over has been fire for Los Angeles lately, going 4-1 in the past 5 outings.
However, while the O/U has split in the past 4 games for Texas, the Under is 14-4-1 in their past 19 outings.
So, there is plenty of risk. The Under is 8-3-1 in the past 12 road games for Texas, too. Tread lightly.
