Toronto Blue Jays at Texas Rangers MLB Picks: Texas Rangers backers watched their team go down in flames in the first two games of a four game home series with Toronto only to see a rainout for the third game. Thursday night, the Rangers will try to salvage one MLB Picks game from the series when it resumes play at 8 p.m. ET at Rangers Ballpark. Bodog oddsmakers currently have the Rangers listed as 160-moneyline favorites versus the Blue Jays, while the game's total is sitting at 10.

The Blue Jays will look to lefthander Ricky Romero with hopes of keeping the teams winning streak alive.Romero has a 3-2 record and a 4.10 ERA this season. Romero's opponent in this one will be Kevin Millwood. The Rangers veteran righthander has a 2.96 ERA to go along with a 5-4 record this season.

Millwood improved to 4-1 lifetime at Fenway Park on Friday, holding Boston to an unearned run over seven-plus innings. He walked four and struck out five in the 117-pitch stint. Millwood is 1-4 with a 6.25 ERA in eight career starts against the Blue Jays.

Romero earned his first win in three starts since coming back from an oblique strain as the Jays beat the Royals, 9-3, on Friday at Rogers Centre. Romero needed only 90 pitches (66 strikes) to get through seven innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks, striking out five. Kansas City could only come up with two base hits and two walks against Romero through the first six innings. Back-to-back home runs in the seventh accounted for all three of the Royals' runs, and 13 of the 16 earned runs Romero has allowed this season have come via the long ball.

Brian Tallet tossed seven scoreless innings to get the win, as the Blue Jays slammed the Rangers 9-0 on Tuesday night. Toronto cashed as +110 road underdogs as the game played UNDER the 10.5-run total listed by oddsmakers. Adam Lind was 2-for-5 with a homer and two runs batted in for the Blue Jays, while Marco Scutaro went 2-for-5 with two RBIs for Toronto.

Doug Mathis gave up four earned runs over five innings to take the loss for Texas, which managed only two hits in the loss.
