- The Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants will play their final matchup of the three-game series at Oracle Park on April 27, 2025 starting at 4:05 PM ET on Sunday. The series stands even at one game for each team after the Rangers won the first game 2-0 and the Giants secured a 3-2 win in the second match.
Right-handed pitcher Jack Leiter will take the mound for the Rangers. Jack Leiter has delivered exceptional performances in his initial two major league starts by achieving a 2-0 win-loss record alongside a 0.90 ERA and 0.70 WHIP across 10 innings pitched. He has given up only one earned run and six hits while achieving ten strikeouts. The Giants will respond by sending right-hander Jordan Hicks to the mound who has faced difficulties this season and holds a record of 1-3 with a 6.59 ERA across 27.1 innings. Hicks has given up 20 earned runs and 29 hits while recording 24 strikeouts and issuing 13 walks.
The Rangers are struggling offensively because they managed to score only 84 runs throughout the season, placing them at the bottom of league standings. The team batting average for the Rangers is .223 and they achieve a .276 on-base percentage together with a .375 slugging percentage. The Giants have maintained better productivity by scoring 132 runs with statistics of .231 for batting average, .312 for on-base percentage and .383 for slugging percentage.
Even though the Rangers offense hasn't been very consistent, I like Leiter on the hill for them today. This whole series has been low scoring thus far so won't be surprised by another here.
