The Texas Rangers are winners of three in a row, allowing just four total runs in the series sweep over the White Sox. Texas has seen their pitching compile a total of 4.16 earned run average, while their starters have come up with 45 quality starts. Now, the rotation will welcome Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery.
The Rangers’ offense has been the big story. When looking at the Texas Rangers stats – they are the top-scoring team and have the top batting average at .273. The Rangers have also seen big-time power from their outfielder Adolis Garcia.
He has 26 home runs and 86 runs batted in. The Rangers have scored over seven runs per game in their last five wins. New Rangers acquisition Jordan Montgomery will make his first start with the team.
After this series against the Marlins, the Rangers go on the road to take on the Oakland Athletics and then the San Francisco Giants.
Looking at the past Miami Marlins lines, the Marlins have a free fall going on in South Florida. The Marlins continue to struggle to win, including on Thursday when they were shut down by new Phillies right-hander Michael Lorenzen. The Marlins, in the four-game series, allowed 19 runs and scored 14 but only won one game.
Miami is led by Luis Arraez, with his .377 batting average. The second-baseman looks like he will once again win the batting title after winning it in the American League with the Twins last season. The Marlins as a team are hitting .265, which is third in all of baseball. Jesus Luzardo will take the mound in this game. The lefthander is 8-5 on the season, but his MLB odds are not great.
The Marlins play this series in Texas and then go on the road to take on the Reds before coming back home to take on the Yankees and Astros at home.
Things are going well with the Texas Rangers this season. They seem to be in great shape to have a top seed in the American League when the postseason arrives.
They will have to hold off Houston and catch up with Baltimore, but they are set up well. Look for the Rangers to get to Luzardo in this game and also get a good outing from Montgomery.
- Bet the Texas Rangers -155, and take the under 8.5. In one of our favorite MLB games today: The Rangers win 6-2 over the Marlins.
