The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rangers have been terrible in their games lately and they have no hope of making it to the playoffs this season. The Guardians do still have a chance to win their division though and they will be playing hard to hold onto that until the end of the season. As bad as the Rangers have been lately, they have a good shot at winning this game at home. They have a rookie pitcher starting here and he hasn't been great in his starts but he just had a good start and will be looking to build on that. Civale is starting for the Guardians and he has been terrible in his starts all year as he just gives up a ton of runs all the time. He will put the Guardians in a position where they need to score runs and Ragans will be able to hold them off here. The Rangers will also be looking to spoil the Guardians chances of winning the division so they will be trying to win this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

You're here two weeks.' I said just help us win games, and he said I can do that." - Terry Francona on Will Brennan after his team’s win against the Rangers on Friday.
