San Diego Padres vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. Jacob deGrom’s in great form and Texas has been a money machine for unders at home this season. On the flipside I’m still waiting for regression for Randy Vasquez but the way the Rangers have been hitting as of late, I don’t think the regression is coming here. Give me the under.
