Betting on the Texas Rangers (+150)
Perez has a subpar season ERA of 4.91 and a 1.49 WHIP but he already has eight wins against only three losses this season. That’s largely because of the robust run support he he getting from the consistently dangerous offense of Texas. In fact, Perez is getting 8.06 runs behind him per nine innings pitched. In his last start, he allowed four earned runs on six hits with six innings in an 8-4 victory at home last Sunday.
Speaking of offense, Texas might see Marcus Semien have a good performance in this game, as he is 3-for-9 with a home run in his career against Padres starter Yu Darvish. There’s also Robbie Grossman, who is 4-for16 with a double and home run in the same matchup.
Starting pitcher: Martin Perez(8-3, 4.91 ERA)
Betting on the San Diego Padres (-175)
Darvish is coming off a poor start, as he allowed seven earned runs on eight hits in just 4.1 innings in an 8-4 home loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates last Monday. However, that was only his first stumble after a series of solid starts. He allowed just four earned runs across 17 innings in his previous three starts. He is always capable of putting together a great performance, and he can do that even against the hard-hitting Texas squad.
As for their offense, the Padres can rely on Manny Machado, especially since he is 6-for-18 with a home run and a double against Perez. Juan Soto, on the other hand, is 2-for-5 with a home run versus Perez.
Starting pitcher: Yu Darvish (7-7, 4.80 ERA)
El Jefe’s Prediction on Texas Rangers vs San Diego Padres
The Rangers come up with another exceptional performance at the plate, as they supply Perez with a comfortable amount of runs in a victory.
Prediction:
The Rangers win, 7-4.
