Predictions
Pitching will be at the forefront with Kenta Maeda of the Tigers seeking a bounce-back performance against a Rangers lineup that averages 4.42 runs per game. Maeda’s current ERA of 6.25 will be tested, especially following a rocky outing versus Boston.
The Rangers, eager to rebound offensively, present Maeda with a defining opportunity. Despite recent struggles, a pitcher of Maeda’s caliber should never be counted out. Expect this to be closer than anticipated, but the Rangers may just edge it given the offensive firepower at their disposal./image
