Yesterday’s Results for Texas Rangers vs San Francisco Giants

ASA MLB 2-PACK

Analysis: #925 ASA PLAY ON Texas Rangers +120 over San Francisco Giants, Saturday at 4:05 PM ET - The Rangers are offering strong underdog value here. We get them at plus money here because the Giants are at home and having a strong season and we take advantage of the pitching edge here. Both pitchers, Robbie Ray and Tyler Mahle have a 3-0 record on the season. However, Ray has walked 17 batters in 19 innings this month plus he is coming off B2B outings in which he has struggled with 6 earned runs on 8 walks and 11 hits (19 baserunners) in just 9 innings! Compare this to Mahle and there is no comparison! Mahle is 3-0 with a 0.36 ERA this month and has held opponents to an .098 batting average in these 4 starts! Just 8 hits allowed in 25 innings and a reasonable 8 walks over that stretch, Mahle has been in incredible form. Also, with the 2-0 loss to the Rangers yesterday, the Giants have dropped to just 9-9 last 18 games. The Rangers have won 6 of 10 games overall. Also, in all games started by Mahle, the Rangers were 4-0 this season until they lost his most recent start 1-0 to the Dodgers. Unlike that Mahle start, the Rangers should have no trouble giving decent run support for him here as Ray's struggles continue on the mound. Take the road underdog in this one.
