So is this suggesting that Texas wins it against Detroit bull pen?

[Mendoza Line]

I guess you never know.

The ump seems to favor Texas a bit.

Texas hits only .218 against Verlander, but most of the runs have been scored late in the last 3 games. Pens have been getting a workout lately, and Valverde won't be available tonight after going more than an inning last night.
