Giants Lean on Strong Pitching

  • The Rangers have failed to cover the run line in nine of their last 11 home games against National League opponents after playing the previous day.

Rangers Offense Looks to Bounce Back

The Rangers offense only managed one run on Saturday and that didn’t give them much of a shot to find success. The only run scored for the Rangers happened in the 1st inning and they couldn’t score another run the rest of the game. Andrew Heaney went 5.2 innings, giving up five hits and three runs. The Rangers are averaging 4.33 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.21 runs per game. The offense is ranked 15th in the league while the pitching is ranked 13th. They do have a run differential of 0.13 which is 12th in the league. Getting the start for the Rangers will be Nathan Eovaldi who sits with a 2-2 record and an ERA of 2.70. In his last start against the Detroit Tigers he went 5.2 innings giving up three hits and one run.

  • The Giants have lost seven of their last nine day games against American League opponents following a road win.
  • The Rangers have won three of their last four day games against National League opponents.
  • The Giants have failed to cover the run line in each of their last six Sunday day games against American League opponents.
  • The Rangers have covered the run line in three of their last four day games against teams that held a losing record.

Texas Rangers vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

The Rangers offense struggled to score on Saturday but this game is going to be a whole lot different. Winn gave up five runs in his last start and he’s going to be blown up here. The Rangers offense is going to get out to a fast start. They are also going to get a strong start from Eovaldi and the Rangers are going to cruise to the vicdtory here. Back the Rangers on the run line.
