Texas Rangers vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction: The Phillies will finally beat the Rangers

The first game of the series between Texas and Philadelphia in Arlington ended with a 7:0 victory for the Rangers. Will the Phillies be able to get revenge in game two? We have a few options to choose from.

Texas Rangers

The Rangers are in the American League West Division, where the Houston Astros have the lead alone. Fighting for the Stars for the top spot does not seem possible. By now, the team from Arlington is winning the race for second place, with a 32-35 balance ahead of the Los Angeles Angels and Seattle.

The first home game against Philadelphia came surprisingly easy for Texas (7:0). Martin Perez didn't allow a single run in six complete innings. Relievers Brock Burke, Dennis Santana, and Matt Bush all worked to zero. Marcus Semien and Kole Calhoun each had 2 RBI at bat.

John Gray will pitch for Texas in game two against Philadelphia, 2-3 and has a 4.27 ERA in 11 starts.

Philadelphia Phillies

After the sacking of manager Joe Girardi, the Phillies are slowly getting better. The Phillies, for example, have won 11 of their last 15 games and are second only to Atlanta in the National League standings.

The first game in Arlington was unfortunate for the team as they didn't score a single run. Kyle Gibson started not too badly on the pitching slide, with three runs allowed in 6.1 innings. However, reliever Jairus Familia failed miserably, getting four injuries in 1.1 innings.

Zack Wheeler will pitch for Philadelphia in game two against Texas, going 6-3 and with a 2.69 ERA in 12 starts.

Expert Betting Tips

Philadelphia has lost all three games against Texas this season, and a fourth straight defeat to the Rangers is hardly in the Phillies' plans. Texas still can't be called a real strong team. It's no coincidence that the Phils have been playing brilliantly lately and are in 2nd place over the last 15 games. The prediction is a win for Philadelphia.
