Giants vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers have had issues stringing together offense these last few weeks, and the Giants have cooled off offensively this week as well. Mahle has allowed 10 hits and two runs in 26.2 innings, while Ray has allowed 20 hits and 11 runs in 24.1 innings. Ray has been sharper in the month of April, allowing two or fewer runs in three of his four starts. This feels like a low-scoring game, given cold bats on both sides and two pitchers in great form. Give me the under on Saturday night.
