In this Twins vs Rangers Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -135 home favorites. This one is simple. Only the Rangers need the win in this matchup and are looking to stop the bleeding. They have the better pitcher on the mound in Patrick Corbin, who has an excellent 3.28 home ERA, and goes up against Zebby Matthews, who has a 6.23 road ERA, and has 14 earned runs in his last two starts. Texas has a better bullpen to back Corbin up, so I expect them to get the job done in this crucial game.
