Rangers vs Twins predictions
As the Texas Rangers take the field at Target Field, I'm expecting a big game from Adolis Garcia. The Rangers' right fielder has been on a tear lately, and I think he'll keep it going with at least two hits and a run scored. Josh Smith, the Rangers' third baseman, has been quietly putting together a solid season, and I think he'll get on base at least twice, maybe even notching a double. If the Rangers' offense can get going early, they'll be in good shape.
On the other side, the Minnesota Twins are looking to get back on track, and I think they'll rely heavily on their bats to get it done. Willi Castro, the Twins' shortstop, has been hitting over .260, and I think he'll get at least one hit and score a run. Ryan Jeffers, the Twins' catcher, has been providing some serious power, and I think he'll go deep at least once. If the Twins can get some timely hits and take advantage of the Rangers' pitching, they'll be in good shape.
So, who's going to come out on top? Based on the pitching matchup, I think Bailey Ober will outduel Jose Urena, and the Twins will come out on top 5-3. Ober's been solid all season, and I think he'll be able to keep the Rangers' potent offense at bay. The Twins' offense, meanwhile, will do just enough to get the win. It should be a competitive game, but in the end, I think the Twins will come out on top.
