Tampa Bay Rays vs Texas Rangers Prediction: Expect the unbelievable

On Saturday, Major League Baseball action will take place at Tropicana Field, featuring a matchup between the Texas Rangers and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Tampa Bay Rays - are on a winning run

The Tampa Bay Rays have won their last six games heading into this clash, and they have also won all three games of their series against the Minnesota Twins. Nevertheless, prior to those victories, the Tampa Bay Rays had defeated the Boston Red Sox three times in a series that consisted of four games after losing the opening game of the series. The Tampa Bay Rays have a record of 45-19 in their previous 64 games overall and 44-13 in their last 57 games played at home. Additionally, the over is 5-1 in the Rays' past six games played against teams that start a left-handed pitcher. The Rays will go with Tyler Glasnow in the starting rotation. Glasnow has yet to get a win this season but has a 3.72 earned run average and 14 strikeouts.

Texas Rangers - Rangers are not playing poorly

The most recent series that the Texas Rangers played was against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Texas Rangers were victorious in both of the first two games of the series, claiming victories by scores of 4-3 and 6-4, respectively. However, in the decisive match, the Texas Rangers were defeated by a score of 0-1 in what was a tight match. The Texas Rangers have a record of 6-2 in their last eight games played away from home and 36-17 in their previous 53 games played overall, while the total has gone under in seven of their past eleven games. Andrew Heaney, who has a record of 4-3 with a 4.03 earned run average and 60 strikeouts so far this season, will get the start for the Texas Rangers.

Expert Betting Tips

The Rangers are the team I'll be betting on here. Andrew Heaney has been a reliable arm in the middle of the rotation, and it's quite likely that he's going to have to make a leap forward now that deGrom is out for the year. I believe Glasnow is still getting adjusted to being back on the mound consistently, and I believe the Rangers, who have been arguably one of the hottest teams in baseball, can get to him here.
