A massive mismatch in experience is on the MLB schedule on Thursday when the Texas Rangers (10-9, 5-4 away) face the Detroit Tigers (10-8, 4-6 home) in the final game of their four-game series at Comerica Park in Detroit (first pitch at 1:10 pm ET).

While the Tigers hand the ball to 36-year-old Kenta Maeda, who’s likely to reach 1,000 career innings this season, the Rangers roll with 23-year-old Jack Leiter, who will be pitching inning number one as a big leaguer this afternoon.

Yet, with Maeda struggling out of the gate, the Rangers vs Tigers odds are a pick’em.

Texas Rangers vs Detroit Tigers Odds

Texas Rangers (Leiter) -110 +1.5 (+150) O 8.5 (-105)
Detroit Tigers (Maeda) -110 +1.5 (-180) U 8.5 (-115)

Texas and Detroit are both listed at -110 on the moneyline in Thursday’s MLB odds. The over/under is sitting at 8.5 with the under slightly favored in pitcher-friendly Comerica Park.
