Rangers Pitching….Unnacepatable 

What the Rangers’ pitching did on Monday was not good, and they are going to need to bounce back in a big way in this game. On Monday, the Rangers scored only three runs, but the pitching gave up 14 points, and that led to the blowout defeat. By the end of the second inning, they were down 6-0, and then another six runs were given up in the sixth inning. Kumar Rocker got off to a terrible start, and he went only three innings, giving up seven hits and six runs. Jake Burger was the only bright offensive spot, hitting a home run and driving in two RBIs. 

The Rangers still have a 3-2 record overall, but the offense hasn’t found a way to break out yet. Two games ago, against the Boston Red Sox, they only scored three runs but still ended up on top by one. Nathan Eovaldi will be on the Rangers’ mound and sits with a 0-0 record and an ERA of 3.00. He went six innings against the Red Sox, giving up three hits and two runs. The Rangers will meet the Rays after this series.

What a Breakout for the Reds

On Monday, the Reds had quite the breakout, scoring 14 runs on the way to a blowout victory. The Rangers would have been better off not pitching to Elly De La Cruz, who hit two home runs and drove in seven RBIs. Matt McClain also hit a home run and drove in three RBIs. On Sunday, against the San Francisco Giants, the offense wasn’t as good, and they ended up losing 6-3. 

Getting the start for the Reds will be Carson Spiers, who will be making his first start of the season. Last season with the Reds, he made 22 appearances and finished with a 5-7 record and an ERA of 5.46.

• The Rangers have lost five of their last six games as road favorites against NL Central opponents.

• The Rangers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last seven games against National League opponents after playing the previous day.
• The Reds have led after 5 innings in three of their last four home games against American League opponents that held a winning record.
• The Rangers have lost the first inning in each of their last three games against National League opponents.

Total Runs Facts

• Each of the Reds’ last four games as home underdogs have gone OVER the total runs line.
• Six of the Rangers’ last seven road games against NL Central opponents have gone OVER the total runs line.
• The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in seven of the Reds’ last eight night games against American League opponents.

Texas Rangers vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

Some might be on the Reds because of the way they dominated on Monday, but don’t fall for the trap because they are at a pitching disadvantage in this game. Spiers hasn’t quite lived up to the expectations yet, and last season, he finished with an ERA of 5.46. This Rangers offense hasn’t been exactly elite, but they are going to put up enough runs here. Eovaldi gave up three hits and two runs in his last start, and he’s going to step up again here. Back the Reds on the money line to cash.
