Texas Rangers vs. Minnesota Twins preview
The Rangers have been impressive defensively this season, ranking first in MLB with a .991 fielding percentage and allowing just 3.45 runs per game, but they'll need that stellar pitching staff to contain a Twins offense that's struggled at .239 team batting average.
Jacob deGrom takes the mound for Texas with his vintage 2.58 career ERA and 5.36 strikeout-to-walk ratio, a stark contrast to Minnesota's Taj Bradley who carries a 4.92 ERA into Globe Life Field.
Minnesota's bullpen has been a weak spot all season with just a 52.9% save percentage and 24 blown saves, which could prove costly in what projects as a low-scoring affair with the total set at 7.5-8 runs.
The Twins find themselves 22 games under .500 at 67-89, but they've shown some pop with 184 home runs this season and will look to exploit Texas's bullpen that has surrendered 28 blown saves.
Both teams are essentially playing out the string with playoff hopes long gone, but Texas still has something to play for as they try to finish above .500 for the second straight season.
This matchup comes down to pitching depth, where the Rangers hold a clear advantage with their league-leading 3.76 runs allowed per nine innings compared to Minnesota's struggling 4.67 team ERA.
