Minnesota Twins vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
I’m on the Rangers in this one. I get the case to be made for the Twins as the Rangers haven’t been playing like a team that’s worthy of laying this kind of hefty price. However, deGrom is the staff ace and this feels like a spot where the team rallies behind their ace as Taj Bradley has been batting practice for whatever team he’s gone up against for much of the season. I think Texas finally snaps this slide, so give me the Rangers here.
