The Rangers are facing the Red Sox here and the two teams are still very close in the standings and the record they have posted right now. However, one thing the Red Sox do have as an advantage is they are playing at home and the Rangers have not really shown themselves to be that great of a road team on the year. The Rangers, though, have the better starter heading out into this game and that will help them out quite a bit.

The Red Sox are playing at home and while the Red Sox are not the best home team it will give them a slight advantage in this game here. However, the Red Sox are going to have another issue coming up and that is the fact the offense is going to struggle against Lynn who has done good for the Rangers this year. Look for the pitching of Lynn to be effective enough to shut down the Red Sox offense easily and bring home a win. Final Score, Texas Rangers win 5-3.
