S.McClanahan u5.5 Ks-112

Available at FanDuel. Once again, I need convincing that McClanahan is fully good to go. Even if he is, he's on the road facing a Rangers team with a 19.9% strikeout rate on the active roster against lefties, which will make it a tough hill to climb regardless. I want McClanahan to prove me wrong by going out and showing his health. Otherwise, this number is too high.

TEX +100

Available at FanDuel. This line seems to assume that Shane McClanahan is fully healthy, which may be true. But we haven't seen him get a full workload in several weeks, and the fact that he got pushed back to Monday is a bit worrisome. On the other side is Dane Dunning, who doesn't get many strikeouts but has had really nice batted-ball data even in the rotation. Both offenses are solid, but the Rangers' 140 wRC+ against lefties would give McClanahan issues if he isn't fully at 100%. My model has the Rangers at 57.4% to win, up from 50.0% implied.
