In this article, we will formulate a Yankees vs Rangers prediction for this MLB game on Thursday, May 22, at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Texas Rangers (25-25, 8-15 Away) are currently on a three-game losing skid. After beating the Tigers and sweeping the Rockies, the Rangers split the series with the Astros and then opened this one against the Yankees with a pair of losses. In Wednesday’s narrow 4-3 defeat, Jake Burger led the offense with a couple of solo homers, while Jacob deGrom pitched for 7.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing two runs on three hits with nine strikeouts and one walk. Luke Jackson took the loss.

This season, the Rangers average 3.43 runs per game (26th in the MLB) on a .227/.288/.369 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rangers’ staff has a 3.28 ERA (4th) and 1.14 WHIP (2nd). Adolis Garcia leads the Rangers with a .218 batting average, six home runs, and 24 RBI this season.

Nathan Eovaldi will take the mound for the Rangers on Thursday. The 35-year-old right-hander has a 4-2 record in ten starts this year with a 1.61 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in 61.1 innings.

New York Yankees Betting Preview

The New York Yankees (29-19, 17-9 Home) won four series in a row after defeating the Padres, Athletics, Mariners, and Mets. Add one more to that streak following two wins in the opening two games against the Texas Rangers at home. In last night’s 4-3 victory, the Yankees scored two runs in the 8th and 9th to come from behind and snatch a W, despite being outhit, 10-5. Ryan Yarbrough pitched for 5.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing one run on three hits with eight strikeouts and no walks. Luke Weaver was credited with the win.

This year, the Yankees average 5.77 runs per game (2nd in the MLB) on a .262/.347/.476 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Yankees’ staff has a 3.50 ERA (10th) and 1.17 WHIP (7th). Aaron Judge leads the Yankees with a .402 batting average, 16 home runs, and 44 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Yankees is Carlos Rodon, who is 5-3 in ten starts this season, with a 3.17 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 59.2 innings.

Total Runs Facts

  • Each of the Rangers’ last four games have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Each of the Yankees’ last four games as favorites against American League opponents have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Rangers’ last seven games as underdogs against American League opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in eight of the Yankees’ last nine games at Yankee Stadium.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Yankees rank 1st in the league for on-base percentage this season (.346).
  • The Yankees rank 1st in the league for walks this season (198).
  • The Rangers rank 28th in the league for walks this season (127).
  • The Rangers rank 27th in the league for runs scored this season (171).

Yankees vs Rangers Prediction

The Yankees won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last six. Both games of this series went Under, and I am backing another Under on Thursday. The reason for it is the pitching matchup between Eovaldi and Rodon. Eovaldi is one of the best pitchers in the AL this year and is playing the season of his career. Eovaldi allowed just two runs in his last five starts (three shutouts) and surrendered more than two runs in a game only once this season. Rodon, on the other hand, had three shutouts in his previous six starts. He allowed a .197 BA in 66 at-bats against Texas, while the Rangers have a .221 BA in 443 at-bats against southpaws this year. Go with Under.

Yankees vs Rangers Prediction

I’m backing the Yankees here. I just think that while Jacob deGrom is the Rangers’ staff ace, and can undoubtedly have a good start here. Likewise, I think that the lack of consistent offense could come back to hurt the Rangers and waste a perfectly good start from deGrom here. The Yankees’ bats have been cooking as of late, and I think that they do enough to back Yarbrough here and get the win in the end. Give me the Yankees here.

Yankees vs Rangers Prediction 

New York comes into this series after winning three of their last four games, and they have allowed two runs in four of their last five. The Yankees are 15-9 at home this year, while the Rangers are 8-13 on the road. Texas is coming off a tough loss to Houston on Sunday, and they will start Corbin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. New York is starting Warren, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last five. Both of these pitchers have been serviceable so far this year, but I don’t really trust either one here, so I will grab the plus money with the Rangers.

In his last 15.2 innings, Leiter has allowed 13 hits and 11 runs, while walking nine and striking out ten. Valdez is far and away the more trustworthy pitcher, and that includes allowing just six runs in his last 20 innings while averaging a strikeout per frame. Valdez is also holding current Rangers to a .199 batting average with 46 strikeouts in 161 at-bats. Give me the Astros on Sunday afternoon against the Rangers.

In this article, we will formulate a Rangers vs Astros prediction for this MLB game on Saturday, May 17, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Houston Astros Betting Preview

The Houston Astros (23-21, 8-12 Away) bounced back from series losses to the White Sox and Brewers with wins against the Reds and Royals. The Astros then opened this rivarly series against the Rangers with a 1-0 loss but responded with a 6-3 victory, thanks to a six-run 7th inning. Christian Walker led the offense with three RBI, while Lance McCullers Jr. pitched for 4.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing two runs (none earned) on four hits with two strikeouts and a walk. Kaleb Ort was credited with the win.

This year, the Astros average 4.09 runs per game (19th in the MLB) on a .249/.320/.376  triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Astros’ staff has a 3.35 ERA (7th) and 1.12 WHIP (1st). Jeremy Pena leads the Astros with a .306 batting average, six home runs, and 23 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Astros is Ronel Blanco, who is 3-3 in eight starts this season, with a 4.04 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 42.1 innings.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Texas Rangers (24-22, 16-9 Home) defeated the Tigers, swept the Rockies, and opened the series against the Astros with a 1-0 win to make it six in a row for the first time this year. However, the Astros prevented them from their seventh consecutive win on Friday. In last night’s 6-3 defeat, Jonah Heim led the team with two RBI, while Nathan Eovaldi pitched for 5.2 innings in a no-decision, allowing no runs on two hits with five strikeouts and three walks. Shawn Armstrong took the loss.

This season, the Rangers average 3.43 runs per game (26th in the MLB) on a .228/.289/.369 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rangers’ staff has a 3.35 ERA (7th) and 1.12 WHIP (1st). Adolis Garcia leads the Rangers with a .225 batting average, six home runs, and 24 RBI this season.

Tyler Mahle will take the mound for the Rangers on Saturday. The 30-year-old right-hander has a 4-1 record in nine starts this year with a 1.47 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 49.0 innings.

Why the Rangers will beat the Astros

  • The Astros have lost each of their last six games against AL West opponents following a win.
  • The Rangers have won each of their last 13 Saturday games as home favorites against AL West opponents.
  • The Astros have failed to cover the run line in four of their last five road games following a road win.
  • The Rangers have covered the run line in four of their last five night games following a home loss.
  • The Rangers have led after 3 innings in six of their last eight games as favorites.
  • The Rangers have led after 5 innings in six of their last eight games as favorites.

Total Runs Facts

  • Six of the Astros’ last seven games as underdogs have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Three of the Rangers’ last four games as favorites against the Astros have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Astros’ last nine games as road underdogs against AL West opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in seven of the last eight night games between the Astros and Rangers at Globe Life Field.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Rangers rank 28th in the league for on-base percentage this season (.289).
  • The Rangers rank T3rd in the league for home runs allowed this season (37).
  • The Astros rank 4th in the league for runs allowed this season (157).
  • The Astros rank 26th in the league for steals this season (22).

Rangers vs Astros Prediction

The Astros have won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including three of the last four. In this one, though, I am backing the Rangers to win because of Tyler Mahle, who has been lights out this season. Mahle is having the best season of his career. He hasn’t allowed more than two runs in a game yet, and I doubt he will on Saturday. Mahle allowed a .217 BA in 46 at-bats against the Astros. Ronel Blanco, on the other hand, displayed his best performance of the season in his previous start against the Reds, but he has already surrendered 3+ runs in five starts. Go with the Rangers.

Rangers vs Astros Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. I just can’t get on board with Houston with how they’ve had issues on the road and how Lance McCullers Jr. still doesn’t look right. It’s to be expected after such a long layoff, but the unfortunate thing is that life goes on, and it doesn’t wait for McCullers Jr. to get right. The Rangers have been finding ways to win, and Eovaldi has been outstanding in a lot of his recent starts. I think the Rangers get it done here. Give me the Rangers in this one.

Rangers vs Astros Prediction

The Rangers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and deGrom is on the mound. A lot of people will simply bet a team because the sexy name is on the bump. I get it, and deGrom has been strong lately, allowing three runs in his last 16 innings.

However, the value is with the Astros and the plus money. Brown is looking like a CY Young contender, allowing 30 hits and eight earned runs in 48.2 innings, with 58 strikeouts. Brown has a 0.90 WHIP, which is top-10 in baseball, and he has a .180 allowed batting average. This should be a fun game between two of the hottest pitchers in the sport. Give me the more favorable price. Give me the Astros.

In this article, we will formulate a Rangers vs Rockies prediction for this MLB game on Tuesday, May 13, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Colorado Rockies Betting Preview

The Colorado Rockies (7-34, 2-18 Away) snapped an eight-game losing streak with a win over the Padres and also avoided being swept in that series, but returned to losing ways against the Rangers in Texas. Chase Dollander was excellent for 6.0 innings and allowed just one hit, but that hit turned out to be crucial as it was a two-run homer that gave a lead to the Rangers and they maintained it to secure a narrow 2-1 victory. Dollander had seven strikeouts and three walks in what was the first quality start of his rookie season.

This season, the Rockies average 3.27 runs per game (29th in the MLB) on a .218/.285/.357 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rockies’ staff has a 5.59 ERA (29th) and 1.58 WHIP (30th). Hunter Goodman leads the Rockies with a .294 batting average, six home runs, and 24 RBI this season.

Kyle Freeland will take the mound for the Rockies on Tuesday. The 31-year-old left-hander has a 0-5 record in eight starts this year with a 6.41 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 39.1 innings.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Texas Rangers (21-21, 13-8 Home) were on a negative streak of six series losses, but avoided the seventh consecutive defeat with a win over the Tigers on the road. Texas was down 1-0 against the Rockies on Monday until the 6th inning when Wyatt Langford hit a two-run homer to make it 2-1, which was the final score. Tyler Mahle got the win after allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts and one walk across 6.1 innings of work.

This year, the Rangers average 3.38 runs per game (28th in the MLB) on a .230/.290/.369 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rangers’ staff has a 3.34 ERA (5th) and 1.15 WHIP (2nd). Adolis Garcia leads the Rangers with a .221 batting average, five home runs, and 22 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Rangers is Jack Leiter, who is 2-2 in five starts this season, with a 5.09 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 23.0 innings.

Total Runs Facts

  • Each of the Rangers’ last seven games against NL West opponents have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Eight of the Rockies’ last nine games as underdogs have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Rangers’ last four games as favorites against NL West opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Rockies’ last six Tuesday night games.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Rangers rank 28th in the league for on-base percentage this season (.290).
  • The Rangers rank 27th in the league for runs scored this season (142).
  • The Rockies rank 30th in the league for strikeouts this season (272).
  • The Rockies rank 30th in the league for opponent batting average this season (.295).

Rangers vs Rockies Prediction

The teams have traded wins in the last couple of years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H duels. Eight of the Rockies’ last ten games went Over, and even though most of them were played at Coors Field, I am going with another Over here because of the pitching matchup. Kyle Freeland allowed a .536 BA in 56 at-bats against the Rangers, while he surrendered 14 runs in his previous three starts. Jack Leiter, on the other hand, allowed ten runs in his last two starts, and I think both teams will score 3+ runs in the opening five innings. Go with Over.

The Texas Rangers and the Detroit Tigers meet Sunday in MLB action from Comerica Park. This will be the finale in a three-game weekend series. Here’s a Tigers vs Rangers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Tigers vs Rangers pick.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Rangers opened up 2025 with a set win versus the Red Sox, then took out the Cincinnati Reds in two of three and swept the Tampa Bay Rays. After losing a set to the Chicago Cubs and the Seattle Mariners, the Rangers managed to sweep the Los Angeles Angels. Set losses against the Oakland Athletics (twice) and San Francisco Giants came next during the next three matchups, then losses to Seattle in their first two weekend games before a sweep-stopping Sunday win. The Rangers beat the Red Sox on Tuesday in their series opener, then fell in the next two games. On Friday, Texas couldn’t get much going on three team hits and ended up taking a 2-1 loss. Starting pitcher Patrick Corbin gave up both earned runs in 7.0 innings on three hits and four walks, while Sam Haggerty had the lone RBI.

In the Saturday matchup, the Rangers powered out a 10-3 victory, scoring twice in three different innings. Texas’ Corey Seager put up two homers, three hits, three RBI, and three runs along the way. Starter Jacob deGrom finished with 5.0 innings and two earned runs.

For the starter gig on Sunday, Texas will send out Nathan Eovaldi. This year, Eovaldi is 3-2 with a 2.03 ERA in eight starts across 48.2 innings of work. Eovaldi is 94-83 with a 4.01 ERA in 302 career games (283 starts).

Detroit Tigers Betting Preview

Over on the Detroit side, they fell in their first series of 2025 versus the Dodgers in a sweep, then took out the Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, and Minnesota Twins in the next four matchups. After a series loss to the Brewers, Detroit would take series wins over the Royals, Padres, and Orioles. Detroit lost a series against the Houston Astros, then beat the Angels in three of four. The Tigers kept it going with a sweep over the Colorado Rockies this past week, winning 8-6, 10-2, and 11-1. In the Friday opener versus the Rangers, Detroit only had three hits themselves, but still got the job done. Colt Keith had two hits with a run and an RBI, and Tarik Skubal was great on 7.0 innings, two hits, one earned, no walks, and 12 strikeouts.

In game two, the Tigers were down 5-1 by the third inning and couldn’t dig out of the hole. Detroit got solo homers from Kerry Carpenter (three hits; two runs) and Riley Greene. Starter Jack Flaherty logged 3.0 innings with five earned runs on four hits and two walks.

Starter for the Sunday game will be Detroit’s Reese Olson. This year, Olson is 4-2 with a 3.03 ERA in seven starts and 38.2 innings total. Olson is 13-17 with a 3.64 ERA in 50 games (47 starts) in his career.

Why the Detroit Tigers will win

  • The Tigers have won each of their last six day games against AL West opponents following a loss.
  • The Rangers have lost each of their last eight games as underdogs against American League opponents following a road win.
  • The Tigers have covered the run line in each of their last six games as favorites following a loss.
  • The Rangers have failed to cover the run line in nine of their last 10 road games against AL Central opponents following a road win.
  • The Tigers have led after 3 innings in each of their last seven day games.
  • The Tigers have led after 5 innings in each of their last seven day games.

Why the Texas Rangers will win

  • The Tigers have lost each of their last eight Sunday games as home favorites against AL West opponents.
  • The Rangers have won seven of their last eight day games against AL Central opponents.
  • The Tigers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last nine Sunday games as home favorites against AL West opponents.
  • The Rangers have covered the run line each of their last six road games against teams that held a winning record.
  • The Rangers have led after 3 innings in five of their last six road games against opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Rangers have won the first inning in three of their last four road games against opponents that held a winning record.

Total Runs Facts

  • Seven of the Rangers’ last eight day games after playing the previous day have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Each of the Tigers’ last four day games after playing the previous day have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Tigers’ last seven games as home favorites against American League opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in nine of the Rangers’ last 11 day games against American League opponents.

Tigers vs Rangers Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Tigers. Olson took a loss on April 29 versus the Astros, going 5.2 innings with three earned runs on four hits and three walks. Olson has been great in the other pair of his last three starts, though, notching a combined 13.0 innings, zero earned runs, five hits, and four walks during two victories. As for Eovaldi, he’s been no slouch himself over the last trio. Eovaldi is 2-0 in those three, with just two earned runs in 18.0 innings on 14 hits and two walks. We should have a pretty great starter battle here if both guys are on point.

Detroit didn’t have a very good outing from anybody on Saturday. Flaherty’s start was rough, and the bullpen got beat up quite a bit. The Tigers are going to need a big bounce-back effort in the finale.

The Texas Rangers and the Detroit Tigers meet Friday in MLB action from Comerica Park. This will be the first installment in a three-game weekend series. Here’s a Tigers vs Rangers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Tigers vs Rangers pick.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Rangers kicked off their season with a series victory over the Red Sox, then beat the Cincinnati Reds in two of three ahead of a sweep versus the Tampa Bay Rays. Following a lost series to the Chicago Cubs and the Seattle Mariners, the Rangers managed a sweep over the Los Angeles Angels. Set losses against the Oakland Athletics (two times) and San Francisco Giants ensued during the next three matchups, then defeats versus Seattle in their first two weekend games before a sweep-stopping Sunday win. The Rangers opened their series versus the Red Sox with a 6-1 win on Tuesday. In game two, Texas took a 6-4 loss despite holding a lead for much of the evening. Starter Tyler Mahle finished with 5.0 innings, four hits, and two earned runs.

In the Thursday finale, the Rangers couldn’t find any momentum at the plate on five team hits, falling in a 5-0 shutout in the end. Starter Jack Leiter lasted 5.1 innings with four earned runs on three hits and four walks, while Joc Pederson managed three walks in an ultimately futile effort.

As a starter for Friday’s game, the Rangers are sending out Patrick Corbin. So far this year, Corbin is 2-1 with a 3.28 ERA in five starts over 24.2 innings. Corbin is 105-132 in his career with a 4.50 ERA in 357 games (329 starts).

Detroit Tigers Betting Preview

Over on the Detroit side, they lost an opening set this year versus the Dodgers in a sweep, then beat the Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, and Minnesota Twins in the next four series. After a set loss to the Brewers, Detroit got back to it with series wins over the Royals, Padres, and Orioles. Detroit would drop another set against the Houston Astros, then beat the Angels in three of four. On Wednesday versus Colorado, Detroit was down 3-0 early but rallied to make it competitive and eventually won in 10 innings, 8-6. Jackson Jobe had a rough start, though, giving up six earned runs on eight hits and a walk in 3.2 frames.

In game one of the Thursday doubleheader, the Tigers scored five runs in the second inning during a 10-2 victory. Starter Casey Mize lasted 6.0 innings with one earned run on three hits, no walks, and eight Ks. In the nightcap, Detroit kept it rolling, scoring six runs in the third inning on the way to an 11-1 blowout.

As a starter for Friday, the Tigers are going with Tarik Skubal. So far in 2025, Skubal is 3-2 with a 2.21 ERA in seven starts and 40.2 innings total. Skubal is 44-33 with a 3.29 ERA in 113 career games (110 starts).

Why the Detroit Tigers will win

  • The Tigers have won nine of their last 10 games against teams that held a losing record.
  • The Rangers have lost eight of their last nine road games after playing the previous day.
  • The Rangers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last six road games against American League opponents after playing the previous day.
  • The Tigers have covered the run line in nine of their last 10 night games against American League opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Tigers have led after 3 innings in each of their last four home games.
  • The Tigers have led after 5 innings in each of their last four home games.

Why the Texas Rangers will win

  • The underdogs have won four of the Rangers’ last five games at Comerica Park.
  • The Tigers have lost eight of their last 11 games as home favorites against AL West opponents following a win.
  • The Rangers have covered the run line in eight of their last nine games at Comerica Park against teams that held a winning record.
  • The Tigers have failed to cover the run line in six of their last seven games against the Rangers following a win.
  • The Rangers have won the first inning in three of their last four road games against opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Tigers have trailed after 3 innings in each of their last four night games.
  • The Rangers have led after 5 innings in each of their last four road night games.

Total Runs Facts

  • Nine of the Tigers’ last 10 games have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • Seven of the Rangers’ last eight road games have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Tigers’ last six games as home favorites against American League opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in four of the Rangers’ last five games as underdogs against AL Central opponents.

Tigers vs Rangers Prediction

I’ll stick with the Tigers. This should be a pretty great starter matchup if both guys are on point, though. Skubal is doing very well over his last trio, with a 1-0 record and just three earned runs on 15 hits and a walk in 17.0 combined innings. Skubal is coming off a no-decision versus the Angels on May 2. As for Corbin, he’s posted just five earned runs over his last three starts combined, giving up 19 hits and five walks over a span of 15.1 innings. Corbin is 1-1 in that trio, and last went 5.2 innings with one earned in a no-decision versus the Mariners on May 3.

Detroit was excellent in their doubleheader on Thursday, scoring a whopping 21 runs over the course of two outings. That makes four straight wins, with eight or more runs scored in each, and I like the Tigers to keep it going Friday. All of that said, however, the line’s probably too thick to mess with.

The Texas Rangers and the Boston Red Sox meet Thursday in MLB action from Fenway Park. This will be the finale in a three-game series. Here’s a Red Sox vs Rangers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Red Sox vs Rangers pick.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Rangers opened up the 2025 campaign by winning a set over the Red Sox, then Texas took out the Cincinnati Reds in two of three and swept the Tampa Bay Rays. After dropping series to the Chicago Cubs and the Seattle Mariners, the Rangers swept the Los Angeles Angels. Losses in series versus the Oakland Athletics (twice) and San Francisco Giants came over the next trio, then losses to Seattle in their first two weekend games. Texas managed to stop the sweep with a Sunday win, then on Tuesday versus Boston, the Rangers posted a 6-1 win to keep it going. Texas’ Nathan Eovaldi came up with 6.0 innings, one earned run, five hits, and a walk in that one, while the offense posted a whopping 16 team hits.

On Wednesday in game two, the Rangers held a brief 2-0 lead but ended up taking the loss in the end 6-4. Adolis Garcia (two RBI) and Josh Jung (two hits) each had a home run in the defeat. Starter Tyler Mahle finished with 5.0 innings, two earned, four hits, and a walk.

For starter duties on Thursday, the Rangers are sending out Jack Leiter. This year, Leiter is 2-1 with a 4.58 ERA in four starts (17.2 innings). Over his career, Leither has 13 games (10 starts) in the bag with a 2-4 record and a 7.43 ERA.

Boston Red Sox Betting Preview

Over on the Red Sox’ side, they started the year out with a series loss versus the Rangers, then series wins over the Baltimore Orioles and St. Louis Cardinals. Boston would lose the next two series versus the Toronto Blue Jays and the Chicago White Sox, then take wins over the White Sox and Rays. The Red Sox lost a series versus Seattle, then beat the Guardians ahead of a set loss to Toronto. Another series defeat came over the weekend versus the Twins. On Tuesday, Boston gave up five of the six runs during the fourth inning on the way to the loss. Starting pitcher Lucas Giolito was roughed up for six earned runs on 10 hits and a walk over 3.2 innings of work in the defeat.

In Wednesday’s matchup, the Sox out-hit Texas 11-8 in their win. Wilyer Abreu had two homers, three RBI, and three hits along the way, while Alex Bregman had three RBI, three hits, two runs, and a homer. Tanner Houck lasted 4.2 frames in the starting role with six hits, two walks, and two earned runs alongside two strikeouts.

It’ll be Brayan Bello in the starter slot for the Red Sox on Thursday. This year, Bello is 2-0 with a 2.55 ERA in three starts across 17.2 innings. Bello is 30-27 with a 4.34 ERA in 74 career games (72 starts).

Why the Boston Red Sox will win

  • The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in five of the last six day games between the Rangers and Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Red Sox vs Rangers Prediction

I’ll stay with Boston. Bello is pitching pretty well right now, even though he had a couple of shaky moments in the win over Cleveland on April 27. Bello notched 6.0 innings with three earned runs on six hits and three walks in that one. Combined over his last three starts, Bello is 2-0 with 17.2 innings, five earned, 14 hits, and seven walks. As for Leiter, he’s coming off a rough outing versus the Mariners (4.1 innings; six earned in a loss) but was pitching fairly well prior to that. Leiter had 8.1 innings with two earned runs on three hits and four walks in the previous pair.

The Red Sox got some big offensive performances in their Wednesday victory, namely from Bregman and Abreu. It was a nice win after three straight defeats for Boston, and I think they’ll keep it going Thursday.

  • Each of the Rangers’ last six road games have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Each of the last five games between the Rangers and Red Sox have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Red Sox’s last six night games at Fenway Park.
  • The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in seven of the Rangers’ last eight games as road underdogs.

Red Sox vs Rangers Prediction

I’ll stick with the Rangers. Both starters could use some help from the bats in this one, though. Mahle is just 0-1 in his last three starts but hasn’t pitched badly. In that trio, he’s got 18.0 combined innings with three earned on 15 hits and five walks total. As for Houck, he’s got seven earned runs over his last three starts in 18.0 total frames. Houck has given up 15 hits and three walks in that time. If both guys are on point here, we’ll have a good starter matchup.

Texas jumped all over Giolito in the Tuesday victory, utilizing a big fourth inning to carry the team. I’d like to see the offense spread out over a handful of frames here, but overall, the Rangers should be in decent shape if all goes well on the mound.

The Texas Rangers and the Boston Red Sox meet Tuesday in MLB action from Fenway Park. This will be the first installment in a three-game series. Here’s a Red Sox vs Rangers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Red Sox vs Rangers pick.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Rangers opened up their 2025 campaign with a series win in four games over the Red Sox, then took out the Cincinnati Reds in two of three and swept the Tampa Bay Rays. After the series losses to the Chicago Cubs and the Seattle Mariners, the Rangers swept the Los Angeles Angels. Series losses to the Oakland Athletics (twice) and San Francisco Giants came over the next three matchups, then losses to Seattle on Friday and Saturday. In Saturday’s 2-1 defeat, Texas’s Jonah Helm had the lone RBI with a pair of hits. Starter Patrick Corbin lasted 5.2 innings with one earned run on five hits and two walks alongside a pair of strikeouts.

In the Sunday finale versus the Mariners, the Rangers bagged 12 team hits and six runs in the third inning alone on the way to an 8-1 blowout victory. Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager (run) each had two hits and two RBI, while starting pitcher Jacob deGrom lasted 5.0 innings with one earned run on three hits and two walks alongside three strikeouts. Josh Smith chipped in with four hits, two runs, and an RBI as well.

For the starter gig in the Tuesday game, the Rangers are rolling with Nathan Eovaldi. This year, Eovaldi is 2-2 with a 2.11 ERA in seven starts across 42.2 innings total. Eovaldi is 93-83 with a 4.02 ERA in 301 career games (282 starts).

Boston Red Sox Betting Preview

Over on the Red Sox side, they were able to beat the Baltimore Orioles in a series following their opener defeat versus Texas. After a sweep versus the St. Louis Cardinals, Boston lost consecutive sets versus the Blue Jays and White Sox. The Red Sox beat Tampa Bay and the White Sox over the next two series, then lost one versus the Mariners. Following a set win over Cleveland and a set loss to Toronto, Boston split their first two weekend games with the Twins 6-1 (win) and 4-3 (loss). In the Saturday defeat, the Sox’s Rafael Devers had three hits with two RBI. Starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins had 5.2 innings with four earned runs on seven hits and two walks, along with two strikeouts.

In Sunday’s rubber match, the Red Sox had a 3-1 lead for quite some time but ended up falling 5-4 in the end. Wilyer Abreu posted three hits, two runs, and a solo homer in the defeat, while Carlos Narvaez had two RBI. Starting pitcher Garrett Crochet left after 5.0 innings with one earned run on four hits and two walks.

As the starting pitcher for Tuesday, the Red Sox will go with Lucas Giolito. After his lone start this year (a no-decision), Giolito is sitting with a 4.50 ERA in 6.0 innings of work. During his career, Giolito is 61-62 with a 4.43 ERA in 181 games (179 starts) overall.

Why the Boston Red Sox will win

  • The underdogs have won four of the Red Sox’s last five games.
  • The Rangers have lost each of their last five games following a win.
  • The Rangers have failed to cover the run line in 10 of their last 11 games as road favorites following a win.
  • The Red Sox have covered the run line in eight of their last nine games as underdogs against AL West opponents following a loss.
  • The Rangers have trailed after 5 innings in seven of their last eight road games against AL East opponents.
  • The Red Sox have won the first inning in four of their last five night games against American League opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Rangers have trailed after 3 innings in seven of their last eight road games against AL East opponents.

Why the Texas Rangers will win

  • The Rangers have won each of their last eight night games against AL East opponents.
  • The Red Sox have lost five of their last six games against AL West opponents.
  • The Rangers have covered the run line in seven of their last eight night games against AL East opponents.
  • The Red Sox have failed to cover the run line in each of their last five home games against AL West opponents following a loss.
  • The Rangers have led after 3 innings in each of their last six games against AL East opponents.
  • The Rangers have led after 5 innings in each of their last four night games against AL East opponents.

Total Runs Facts

  • Eight of the Rangers’ last nine games against AL East opponents have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Each of the last four games between the Rangers and Red Sox have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in seven of the Red Sox’s last eight home games.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in six of the Rangers’ last seven night games.

Red Sox vs Rangers Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Rangers. Eovaldi should be able to put together a nice start here. He’s been doing well lately, even though he’s got just the one win in his last three outings. During that trio of starts, Eovaldi has a combined 18.0 innings with three earned runs on 14 hits and one walk. As for Giolito, he managed to go 6.0 innings in his 2025 debut versus the Blue Jays on April 30, giving up three earned runs on five hits and a pair of walks. We should have a good starter matchup here if Giolito can settle in—and if Eovaldi can maintain form.

Texas recently had a string of four straight games with one run or fewer (all losses), so they’ll need to get the offense moving as well.

Rangers vs Mariners Prediction

I’m rolling with the Mariners in this one. I get why the Rangers would be favored with deGrom getting the nod in this game, and deGrom is still the Rangers’ staff ace. However, the Mariners don’t score enough to be able to trust them against anyone right now. While I have my concerns with Logan Evans in just his second major league start, I think he has the far more consistent offense behind him. The Mariners’ bullpen is on par with how good the Rangers’ Pen has been as well this year. Give me Seattle in this one.

Rangers vs Mariners Prediction

I’m on the Mariners here. Until the Rangers show us that they can get themselves out of this nosedive they’ve been in offensively for the better part of the last couple of weeks. It’s going to be hard to give Texas the benefit of the doubt. Regardless of who Texas is sending out for the start. I’ll admit that Corbin has been better for the Rangers than I thought he would be so far this year, but last time I checked, to win a baseball game, you have to outscore the other team. I don’t see the Rangers doing that against anyone right now. Give me Seattle.

In this article, we will formulate a Rangers vs Mariners prediction for this MLB game on Friday, May 2, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Seattle Mariners Betting Preview

The Seattle Mariners (18-12, 6-6 Away) hope to get their fifth straight win for the first time this season after winning the previous four; two against the Marlins and two over the Angels in a two-game series sweep. In the most recent 9-3 victory, Leo Rivas led the M’s with three RBI, while Emerson Hancock pitched for 6.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing three runs on six hits with four strikeouts and two walks. Casey Legumina was credited with the win.

This year, the Mariners average 5.07 runs per game (6th in the MLB) on a .241/.339/.415 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Mariners’ staff has a 3.74 ERA (12th) and 1.30 WHIP (11th). Jorge Polanco leads the Mariners with a .384 batting average, nine home runs, and 25 RBI this season.

Bryan Woo will take the mound for the Mariners on Friday. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 3-1 record in five starts this year with a 3.09 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 32.0 innings.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Texas Rangers (16-16, 11-6 Home) are going through their worst period of the season, during which they suffered four consecutive series losses to the Dodgers, Athletics (twice), and Giants. In the latest 3-0 defeat to the A’s, the Rangers failed to get on the scoreboard for the fourth time this year. Tyler Mahle took the loss after allowing one run on five hits with six strikeouts and one walk in 6.0 innings.

This season, the Rangers average 3.22 runs per game (30th in the MLB) on a .229/.285/.367 slash line. Regarding pitching, the Rangers’ staff has a 3.26 ERA (6th) and 1.14 WHIP (4th). Adolis Garcia leads the Rangers with a .218 batting average, four home runs, and 15 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Rangers is Jack Leiter, who is 2-0 in three starts this season, with a 2.03 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 13.1 innings.

Total Runs Facts

  • Ten of the Rangers’ last 11 home games have gone UNDER the total runs line.
  • Nine of the Mariners’ last 10 games have gone OVER the total runs line.
  • The ‘Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Mariners’ last six road games against American League opponents.
  • The ‘Inning 1 UNDER 0.5 runs’ market has hit in each of the Rangers’ last four night games against American League opponents.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Rangers rank 29th in the league for walks this season (74).
  • The Rangers rank 2nd in the league for walks allowed this season (84).
  • The Mariners rank 3rd in the league for on-base percentage this season (.339).
  • The Mariners rank 4th in the league for home runs this season (45).

Rangers vs Mariners Prediction

The Mariners won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, and they already swept the Rangers in a three-game series this season in Seattle. The Mariners are in better form right now, and I am leaning toward them, but I will opt for the Under instead of betting on the winner. Texas scored more than three runs only once in the last nine games and is 9-23 Over/Under this season. The Rangers have the worst offense in the MLB, but also one of the strongest defenses. Bryan Woo has posted four quality starts in his five starts this year, including the previous one against the Rangers, when he got the win after allowing one run in 7.0 innings. Back the Under.

In this article, we will formulate a Rangers vs Athletics Prediction for this MLB game on Thursday, May 1st, at Citi Field. Let’s take a look at a Texas Rangers vs Athletics pick. 

Athletics Offense Was Strong

The Athletics’ offense was sure strong on Wednesday, and they scored seven runs on the way to the victory. Lawrence Butler had a huge game, hitting a home run and driving in four RBIs. Luis Severino got into some trouble in some innings, but gave up only one run in five innings. He did give up eight hits. 

The Athletics are averaging 4.17 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.3 runs per game. The offense is ranked 17th, while the pitching is ranked 27th. Tyler Soderstrom has scored nine goals and added 24 assists. Getting the start for the Athletics will be Jeffery Springs who sits with a 3-3 record and an ERA of 6.04. Against the Chicago White Sox, he went six innings, giving up seven hits and five runs.

Rangers Offensive Woes Continues to be an Issue


The Rangers’ offense continues to be an issue, and it was no different on Wednesday. The Rangers had nine hits but only one run crossed the plate. Adolis Garcia did have a strong game, finishing with two hits and one RBI. Nathan Eovaldi had a strong game on the mound, going six innings, giving up only one hit, but the bullpen blew it. 

The Rangers are averaging 3.4 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.5 runs per game. The offense is ranked 25th, while the pitching is ranked 5th. Wyatt Langford has hit six home runs and driven in 12 RBIs. Getting the start for the Rangers will be Tyler Mahle, who sits with a 3-0 record and an ERA of 1.14. Against the San Francisco Giants in his last start, he went five innings, giving up eight hits and two runs. 

Rangers vs Athletics Prediction

This game is going to be lower scoring. I really don’t trust the Rangers’ offense, and even against a bad offense, they are going to struggle to get anything going against Jeffery Springs. For Mahle, he has been dominant this season, and he sits with an ERA of 1.14. The Athletics offense is going to struggle to even get quality at-bats against Mahle, and that will be the difference here. This game is going to be lower scoring, and the under is going to end up cashing.
