Texas Rangers vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the Rangers here. I’m just not sold on Jordan Hicks as a viable starting option on an MLB roster. Sure, the guy is a flamethrower, but he gasses himself out way too quickly for how hard he throws, and that leads to the other teams hitting him hard and putting up a ton of runs against him, as they have for much of the season. The Rangers are a solid lineup that can do damage if Hicks is missing his spots. Leiter’s not my favorite option for the Rangers and he’s coming off of a long layoff, but the Giants have faltered with Hicks as a starter and I think they do here as well. Give me the Rangers.
