Cleveland Guardians vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I’ll try the Rangers here. I could go either way though. Bradford is a tepid 1-1 in his last three starts but he hasn’t been pitching too badly. Over that trio Bradford has six earned in a total of 18.0 innings. As for Boyd, he’s coming off three earned in 5.1 innings against the Yankees.

On Saturday the Rangers didn’t have too bad of an offensive evening, but it hardly mattered after an 8-1 deficit by the third inning. Texas had a pretty rough pitching outing across the board, and it’s going to take a lot better than that to dig out a win Sunday.
