Two Struggling Teams | Money in the Bank!

Both Teams are Better Than This

Coming into the season, people expected that the Philadelphia Phillies and the Texas Rangers could have been two of the top teams in all of baseball. Although it’s still the early part of the season, the Rangers are currently 9-14 and Philadelphia is 11-13.

The Rangers were able to walk away with an impressive 6-4 victory in the first game of the series, which could be a good sign for their struggling offense getting back on track. Martin Perez is expected to get the ball for Texas, while star pitcher Zack Wheeler will get the start for Philadelphia.

Let’s check the latest MLB picks, stats, injury reports, and MLB odds for Rangers vs Phillies. We’ve plenty of MLB predictions.

Rangers Looking to Take the Two Game Series

Although the Texas Rangers have struggled to start the season, this could be a good position for them to get back on track and take two games from a tough Philadelphia Phillies team.

Texas is currently in last place of the American League West, but it is early, anything can change in a matter of days.

Unfortunately, for the Rangers, they’re going up against Zack Wheeler and he’s one of the top pitchers in all of baseball. Wheeler hasn’t had a great start to the season as he’s currently 1-3 with a 5.79 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP, but it’s to be expected that he will get back on track.

Phillies Need this One

The Philadelphia Phillies simply have to be better than how they’ve played to start the season. With a team that has potential to make the playoffs in the National League, an 11-13 start is unacceptable. With the lineup they offer, they should be able to get on track sometime in the near future.

With Martin Perez on the mound for Texas, and Philadelphia doing a great job against him, they should be able to come away with a win here in game 2. Martin Perez against the current Philadelphia Phillies lineup has allowed hitters to hit nearly .300 with an xSLG of .629. He also has a FIP above 8, which is a good sign for the Phillies to score a couple of runs in this one.

Rangers vs Phillies Prediction

The current MLB betting odds are going to see the Philadelphia Phillies as the favorites on the Moneyline at -165. The Rangers are going to be coming in at +145 on the Moneyline and the over/under is going to be set at 8.

With Martin Perez being on the mound for the Texas Rangers, this is a good spot for the Philadelphia Phillies to get back on track and win outright. The play of the day here is going to be taking the Phillies to win outright, as it would make sense if their offense is able to put up a few runs here. Despite them struggling to start the season, Martin Perez is one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball and is going to allow a struggling offense to get hot.

When also factoring in that Zack Wheeler is going to get the ball from Philadelphia, and despite his struggles to start the season, he should be able to hold down a struggling Texas Rangers lineup. Even if Texas can put together a few runs, the amount of runs that Philadelphia should be able to put up against Martin Perez is going to be much more than the Rangers are going to put up against Zack Wheeler.

When betting online, take the Philadelphia Phillies Moneyline.
