Rangers vs Twins Prediction
The Twins have had issues on the road this season, and I’m not excited to get behind Matthews and his 5.20 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. In his last 13 innings, Matthews has allowed 14 hits and 9 runs. In 65.2 innings, Rocker has a 3.56 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, and he has a 3.02 ERA and a .226 allowed batting average in 41.2 home innings. The Rangers have the edge on the mound, and it’s quite clear. The price is reasonable. Give me the Rangers.
