- Analysis
- Coming off yesterday's win, the Rangers look for their third win of this series (2-1 so far) today. Even though they haven't been as dominant as some would expect so far, the Rangers have still looked good. Texas is pitching extremely well and now turn the ball to their top prospect (the 2nd overall pick in the 2021 draft) to make his first career start in the big leagues. He's expected to be good and what better way then to start your career with a win here on Thursday.
Detroit owns a similar record to the Rangers after Wednesday's defeat. They started the season very well, but have cooled off recently. Maeda is expected to get the nod today and he hasn't looked very good this season. Yes, his last start was strong. However, he's already allowed 10 earned runs in his first three starts. He also allowed three runs in five innings last game against Texas.
This is a good spot for the Rangers and I believe that they'll get the job done and win this series. I've got the defending champs at the underdog price on Thursday.
Score Prediction: 6-3 Rangers
