The surging Texas Rangers (53-50), winners of eight of their last ten games, host the struggling Atlanta Braves (44-57) on Saturday night at Globe Life Field in a compelling interleague matchup.
All eyes will be on the pitching duel between Rangers' Kumar Rocker, who boasts an impressive 1.84 ERA at home this season, and Braves' Grant Holmes, who has been solid despite limited run support from Atlanta's underperforming offense.
With Texas building momentum behind their revitalized July offense (5.6 runs per game) and the Braves continuing to struggle on the road (18-31), this contest presents a clear opportunity for the Rangers to continue their playoff push.

Texas Rangers vs. Atlanta Braves preview
The slumping Braves (44-57) head to Arlington looking to shake off a 4-6 stretch as they face a Rangers squad (53-50) that's found its groove with eight wins in their last ten outings.
Saturday's pitching matchup presents a fascinating contrast between Atlanta's Grant Holmes (4-9, 3.81 ERA) who has struggled mightily on the road with a 5.19 ERA, and Texas' emerging star Kumar Rocker (4-4, 5.66 ERA) who has been nearly untouchable at Globe Life Field, boasting a sparkling 1.84 ERA in home starts.
The Rangers' recent offensive surge—they've averaged 5.6 runs per game in July after struggling at the plate for much of the season—could spell trouble for a Braves pitching staff that has posted a troubling 4.31 ERA away from Truist Park.
Globe Life Field continues to play as one of baseball's most pitcher-friendly venues, with the Rangers averaging just 3.7 runs per game at home, setting up what could be a lower-scoring affair despite Atlanta's recent tendency toward overs (7-2-1 in their last ten).
Texas appears to be hitting its stride at the perfect time with their rotation anchored by veterans and young arms like Rocker finding form, while Atlanta's disappointing season has them on the outside of the playoff picture and searching for answers on the road where they've managed just an 18-31 record.
