Texas Rangers Odds

Texas Rangers 2024 Season Preview

The Texas Rangers are looking to build on their historic 2023 season, when they won their first World Series championship. This year, the Rangers will try to become the first team to win back-to-back World Series titles since the 1998-2000 Yankees. The Rangers' talented lineup, led by stars like Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, and Adolis García, is largely intact from last season. They'll also be getting reinforcements during the year, with top prospects expected to join the major league club. However, the Rangers do have some questions in their starting rotation, with injuries to key pitchers like Jacob deGrom and Tyler Mahle.

Projected to win around 88 games and favored to repeat as AL West champions, the Rangers will aim for another World Series title in 2024.

Betting on the Texas Rangers

Check out below the betting options:

Rangers Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Rangers game:

• Minnesota Twins (+1.5)
• Texas Rangers (-1.5)

As shown above, the Rangers are favored by 1.5 runs against the Twins; the minus sign (-) indicates Texas is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Texas here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash the Rangers would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Twins +1.5 would win if Minnesota won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

Rangers Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of run line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Minnesota Twins +150
• Texas Rangers -180

Just as with run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Rangers, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Twins would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

Odds can differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so always make sure you shop for the best line with The Action Network app.

Rangers Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Rangers-Twins matchup was 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

Rangers Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Corey Seager over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that Jon Gray will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Rangers Futures

Expectations are rising right now in Texas, so bettors still have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Rangers futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Rangers to win the AL West, win the American League Pennant, win the World Series, or even individual awards like winning league MVP.

How to Bet on the Texas Rangers

Sports betting is not currently legal in Texas, but a new bill was introduced during the Texas legislature on February 6, 2023 that has the backing of major sports teams in the state. Texas politicians have been largely opposed to sports betting in recent years, but sentiment within the state could be shifting.
