The Play: Minnesota Twins @ Texas Rangers
Pitchers: Bailey Ober vs Cody Bradford
Sports Betting Play of the Day Breakdown:
The Minnesota Twins are sitting on a 1.5-game lead in the AL Wild Card race while the defending-champion Rangers have dropped seven of ten. The Rangers are currently 10 games out of a playoff spot.
Bailey Ober is on the hill for the Twins on the road in Arlington, looking to continue his dominance.
Ober has won his last four starts. He’s been tough to hit in those outings, racking up a 16% swinging strike rate.
Rangers are straight struggling
The Rangers are playing out the remainder of the season.
Last night, Texas General Manager Chris Young said, “Where we are in the standings, we have to start looking to 2025 and beyond at how we’re going to bounce back from this”.
The defending champs are not nearly as potent at the plate as they were last year. In 2024, their bullpen has struggled to a 4.28 xFIP, 23rd in MLB.
Twins solid as road favorites
The Twins are 22-13 (63%) as a road favorite this season (4th best win % in the league). The Rangers are 6-11 (35%) as a home underdog this season.
Give me Minnesota on the moneyline.
The Bet: Twins ML -120
