The Marlins are entering this series off a win and completed the sweep in their 3-game series against the San Francisco Giants 3-0 in their last series. They enter this game with a 40-38 record overall and have a home record of 26-16.

The current betting odds have the Marlins listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Marlins have looked good in their games this season with their 40-38 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL East. They have looked a lot better in their own ballpark too with their 26-16 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Rangers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 37-40 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL West. They haven't been a good road team either with their 18-22 road record this year. The Rangers haven't had a good offense this season and lately they haven't looked great because of it, now 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Marlins have been rolling in their games lately though, sweeping the Giants in their last series with their offense getting hot, and they are 7-3 in their last 10 games now. Not only do the Marlins have the better offense at the moment, they are also going to have the better starter here and they can take advantage of that. The Marlins are going with Alcantara in this one and he hasn't looked great this season, but he has looked a lot better lately. He is 7-4 with a 4.18 ERA and lately he hasn't been giving up as many runs. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start which is starting to become a common theme for him, and even the team has been having a ton of success with him lately, winning 4 games in a row now with him starting. The Rangers haven't been putting up runs lately which is going to be an issue in this series, especially since they are dealing with a lot of injuries to their pitching too. The Marlins have also looked like a different team at home this season and they will continue rolling in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Marlins to win this game.

"He's an MVP type of player. That's who he is. He's a guy that will help you win more games than not. He'll help carry the whole team on his back throughout a series. He won two of the games, almost three, quite honestly. He was that good this series." - Skip Schumaker on Wyatt Langford after his team’s win against the Padres in their game on Sunday.
