Rangers vs Braves Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. These are just two teams that are headed in completely different directions right now, as the Braves just can’t get their feet back underneath them, and just can’t put it together on the road. Texas is red-hot right now and while Kumar Rocker is far from a world-beater, I think he is in good enough form and can be good enough here to get the win. Give me Texas in this one.
