The San Diego Padres roll into Globe Life Field tonight sitting two games above .500 at 38-36, looking to keep pace in the West while the Texas Rangers, at 36-39, are trying to claw back to respectability in their own house. Vegas has the Rangers as a moderate favorite at -136 with the run line at minus a run and a half and a tight over-under of 7.5, which tells you the books expect pitching to show up on both sides.

That low total is the story — if either bullpen gets stretched early or the manager goes to the pen too early, the heart of the order on either club could blow that number up in a hurry. Bold call: Padres steal this one on the road, the Rangers' bullpen gives up a go-ahead run in the seventh, and San Diego walks out of Arlington with the series opener.
