Dodgers Blew It

The Dodgers blew it on on Saturday in the 9th inning. Kirby Yates came in and went only 0.2 innings, giving up two hits and two runs.

They lean on the home run ball and are averaging 1.64 home runs per game. Getting the start for the Dodgers will be Tyler Glasnow who sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 4.85. Against the Chicago Cubs, he went 6.0 innings, giving up three hits and two runs. 

Strong Start for the Rangers

It has been a strong start for the Rangers, and they have to have some confidence after pulling out the victory on Saturday. Adolis Garcia was the star of the show, hitting a home run in the 9th inning to pull out the victory. Nathan Evolaldi got the start and he went six innings giving up five hits and two runs. 

The Rangers are averaging 3.19 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.81 runs per game. The offense is ranked 28th while the pitching is ranked 7th. Getting you to a fast start is going to be a major key here. Getting the start for the Rangers will be Tyler Mahle who sits with a 3-0 record and an ERA of 0.92. Against the LA Angels in his last start, he went six innings, giving up three hits and zero runs.

LA Dodgers vs Texas Rangers Prediction

On paper, the Dodgers have the more talented offense, but they aren’t going to find success here. Tyler Mahle is getting the start for the Rangers and he has been dominant this season. In his last start against the Angels, he went six innings, giving up three hits and zero runs, and even a strong offense is going to have some major issues. Glasnow might not have his worst start if he gives up even two runs, that’s going to be too much for the offense to overcome. Back the Rangers on the money line.
