Texas Rangers vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’ll probably just try the Rangers. Eovaldi had a rough go of things versus the Mariners back on June 15 with four earned over 3.0 innings. He came back with two earned in 6.0 frames in a win over the Royals, though. As for Rea, he’s coming off five earned in 5.1 innings versus the Padres but had been pitching well prior to that.
On Tuesday the Rangers couldn’t do much on five team hits, each spread out with a different batter. The pitching wasn’t terrible though, and only two bullpen arms went out. I think the Rangers can bounce back Wednesday.
