They enter this game with a 47-39 record overall and have a road record of 22-21. This is the series finale of a 3-game series with the Rangers on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Their offense ranks 6th in the MLB with a .744 OPS. Devin Smeltzer is their starting pitcher on Saturday while Dylan Bundy is making his start in this game on Sunday. He is 4-4 with a 4.50 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 6 Ks on 3 hits through 5 IP against the Chicago White Sox. 

 

The Rangers were on a 4 game losing streak but now enter this game off of a win. They lost their last series against the Baltimore Orioles getting swept 3-0 in a 3-game series and they had Thursday off as a rest day. They enter this game with a 38-43 record overall and have a home record of 18-20. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Twins on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Their offense ranks 17th in the MLB with a .694 OPS. Martín Pérez is on the mound on Saturday while Dane Dunning will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Sunday. He is 1-6 with a 4.15 ERA this season. His team lost their last 9 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 7 hits through 5.1 IP against the Baltimore Orioles. 

The current betting odds have the Twins listed as a slight underdog in this game. The Twins were playing very well just last week but they have lost 2 straight games now and have lost a bit of steam coming into this game. Their offense has still been scoring runs though and even in their 2 losses, they only lost each game by 1 run. They have Bundy starting in this game and he has not been great this season but he has not been any worse than Dunning who is starting for the Rangers here. Dunning is not coming off of a good start in his last game and the team has not had much success with him this season as the Rangers have lost his last 9 straight starts. The Twins have still been playing very well recently, even in their losses, and they have one of the better offenses in the MLB right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Twins to win this game.
