Rangers vs Nationals Prediction
Texas comes into this matchup after a complete collapse on Thursday night against the Rays, and they have lost three games in a row. The Rangers are just 9-21 on the road this year, while the Nationals are 14-16 at home. Washington has dropped three of their last four, and they have scored a total of seven runs in those four games. The Nats are starting Soroka, who has allowed at least three earned runs in three straight starts. The Rangers are starting Corbin, who has allowed three earned runs in three of his last four outings. I don’t love the pitching matchup here, but I am going to fade Texas on the road, as they have really struggled away from home.
