Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers +1.5 here. I just think that this is the most favorable pitching matchup for the Rangers to compete in this series even though Friday’s matchup was fairly close as it is and I think this is going to be highly competitive in the end. Not sure the Rangers have enough to get the full out W, but I think it’s close. Give me Texas +1.5.
