Blue Jays vs. Rangers – Betting Preview & Prediction
Moneyline: Texas -155 | Total: 7.0
Texas Rangers Outlook
Returning home after a grueling road trip, the Rangers (4-1 behind Jacob deGrom this season) aim to carry momentum from a thrilling ninth-inning comeback win over the White Sox. Despite a six-game skid last week, Sunday’s 5-4 walk-off showed this team still has fight. The Rangers now kick off a six-game homestand with deGrom taking the mound—a welcome sight for backers of the favorite. The ace has been solid in his return from a second Tommy John surgery, logging a 2.33 ERA and showing the command that made him a two-time Cy Young winner. In his last start, he allowed just three hits and two runs over seven innings, but the bullpen couldn’t hold the lead. At home and well-rested, Texas looks to capitalize on a slumping Toronto squad.
Player Prop to Watch (Texas): Jacob deGrom – Over 6.5 Strikeouts
With 26 K’s in his last three starts, deGrom should carve up a Toronto lineup that just got blanked by Tampa.
Toronto Blue Jays Outlook
Toronto limps into Arlington riding a three-game losing streak, having been swept in Tampa Bay and outscored 19-2 over the weekend. Sunday’s 13-0 beatdown was their worst of the season. However, Kevin Gausman will try to stop the bleeding after an elite bounce-back performance against the Padres. He pitched seven shutout innings with nine K’s and looked like the ace Toronto desperately needs. Historically, Gausman has fared well against Texas, going 7-3 with a 3.42 ERA in 13 appearances. But he’ll need run support from an offense that’s gone ice-cold.
Player Prop to Watch (Toronto): Kevin Gausman – Under 2.5 Earned Runs
After dominating San Diego and with good career numbers vs. Texas, Gausman is positioned to keep this one close early.
Prediction:
This one should be a pitcher’s duel between two front-line starters, with scoring at a premium. Given Toronto’s offensive struggles and Texas snapping their funk, lean on the home side to edge out a low-scoring affair.
