Reds vs Rangers MLB Pick to Bet
The Rangers' offense is waking up. They’ve posted a 136 wRC+ against right-handed pitching early in the season, good four fourth among MLB lineups.
They should mash Brady Singer, a soft-tossing sinkerballer who doesn’t force enough groundballs to overcome how many barrels he allows (nearly 10% rate).
It’ll be tougher for the Reds to score, given MacKenzie Gore is an excellent young southpaw with elite stuff.
However, neither bullpen inspires much confidence (both rank below-average in reliever xFIP), and while each team had an off-day yesterday, both staffs worked hard over the past week.
Pick: Over 7.5
