Texas Rangers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction 

Texas looked like they had some momentum after playing Miami and Arizona, but they dropped two of three against Detroit at home and will try to bounce back here. The Rangers have won six of their last nine games and the offense has been better over the last two weeks. San Francisco is just 13-19 on the road and they have had a very tough week. Both of these starting pitchers have similar season numbers, but Lorenzen is pitching lights out right now. My Texas Rangers vs San Francisco Giants prediction is for the Rangers to get the win.
