Patrick Corbin takes the ball for Texas. The veteran is 7–9 with a 4.23 ERA over 146.2 innings, striking out 124 batters. While Corbin has allowed 21 home runs, the left-hander has kept games close and gives the Rangers a chance to win. The Texas pitching staff holds a 3.45 ERA, one of the better marks in the American League.
Miami Marlins vs Texas Rangers Prediction
Texas is stronger at home and has the advantage on the mound with Corbin against Junk. Miami’s recent scoring will help keep this close, but the Rangers’ starting pitching and bullpen should help snap a losing streak.
Final Score Prediction: Texas Rangers, Rangers win 5–3.
