The Rangers are entering this series off a loss and lost their 3-game series against the Miami Marlins 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 38-42 record overall and have a road record of 19-24. This is the series opener of a 4-game series with the Blue Jays on Thursday. Their offense ranks 22nd in the MLB with a .707 OPS. Jacob deGrom was their starting pitcher on Wednesday while MacKenzie Gore is making his start in this game on Thursday. He is 4-6 with a 4.07 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season appearance, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HR, and 2 BB with 6 SO on 5 hits through 6 IP against the San Diego Padres.

The Blue Jays split their 2-game series against the Chicago Cubs 1-1. They enter this game with a 39-40 record overall and have a home record of 22-19. This is the 1st game of a 4-game series with the Rangers on Thursday with the series finale of their series against the Houston Astros still to be played on Wednesday. The Blue Jays won the 1st game of that series on Monday and lost the 2nd game on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 21st in the MLB with a .708 OPS. Trey Yesavage is their starting pitcher on Wednesday while Kevin Gausman is making his start in this game on Thursday. He is 4-5 with a 4.04 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 7 earned runs, 1 homer, and 4 walks with 3 strikeouts on 7 hits through 2 innings pitched against the Chicago Cubs.

The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Blue Jays haven't looked good in their games this season with their 39-40 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL East. They have looked better in their own ballpark though with their 22-19 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Rangers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 38-42 record overall which has them right in the middle of the AL West. They have been a bad road team too with their 19-24 road record this year. The Rangers are 4-6 in their last 10 games and they haven't looked good lately with one of the worst offenses in MLB. The Blue Jays haven't had a great offense this season either, but they have been putting up a lot more runs lately as they are starting to get hot, now 6-4 in their last 10 games. Gausman is on the mound for the Blue Jays in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 4-5 with a 4.05 ERA, but he has looked better in his home starts. He is coming off a terrible start in which he gave up 7 earned runs and the team has lost 2 games in a row now with him starting, but starts like that haven't been a common theme for him and he will be looking to bounce back with a better performance at home. The Rangers are going with Gore in this one and he hasn't looked great this season either. He is 4-6 with a 4.07 ERA and his team has had a lot of trouble with him too. He is coming off a great start in which he only gave up 1 earned run, but that hasn't been a common theme for him this year and the team has still lost 2 games in a row now with him starting. Gausman won't be as bad in this start as he was in his last start, so look for the Blue Jays to edge out the Rangers at home with the hotter offense right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.

“We have to get a length option and we don’t have that right now.” - Skip Schumaker after his team’s loss against the Marlins in their game on Tuesday. 

“For one, good to have him back. After the first, I thought was good. Changeup was really good. The back-to-back-to-back homers obviously stand out. And I think just some mislocation with the heater.” - John Schneider on Shane Bieber after his team’s loss against the Astros in their game on Tuesday.
