Texas Rangers vs. Minnesota Twins preview
The Rangers find themselves in a fascinating position with Jacob deGrom taking the mound against a Twins squad that's been struggling to find consistency this season.
Texas boasts the league's top defense with a .991 fielding percentage and the best ERA at 3.45, while Minnesota sits near the bottom with a 4.67 team ERA that ranks 26th.
DeGrom brings his vintage brilliance to Globe Life Field with a career 2.58 ERA and impressive 5.36 strikeout-to-walk ratio, though he'll face a Twins offense that's managed just 4.2 runs per game.
The contrasting pitching philosophies will be on full display as Taj Bradley counters for Minnesota with his 4.92 career ERA, setting up an intriguing duel between experience and youth.
Texas enters with solid fundamentals and superior run prevention, while the Twins will need to capitalize on their 184 home runs this season to stay competitive in Arlington.
With the Rangers' bullpen sporting just a 56.3% save rate despite their strong overall pitching, late-inning drama could very well decide this Wednesday night affair.
