Prediction: Texas Rangers VS Tampa Bay Rays 2025-06-03
The Texas Rangers are set to take on the Tampa Bay Rays, and I've got my eyes on this one. The Rays are coming off a tough 1-0 loss to the Houston Astros, where Hunter Brown dominated with only one hit in six innings. Meanwhile, the Rangers are fresh from an 8-1 thrashing of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Looking at the odds, the Rays are favored at 1.7, with the Rangers at 2.2. The spread has the Rays at -1.5, priced at 2.52, and the Rangers at +1.5, priced at 1.54. The over/under is set at 8.0, with the over at 1.95 and the under at 1.87.
My best bet for this matchup is the Rangers +1.5 at 1.54. The Rays have been inconsistent, getting outscored 3-1 in their two losses to the Astros, despite outscoring them 29-6 in their two wins. The Rangers, on the other hand, have shown some impressive form, and I think they can keep this one close.
Plus, with Taylor Walls' ejection from the previous game, the Rays might be a bit shorthanded. I'm not saying the Rangers will win outright, but I think they've got a good chance of keeping it within a run. So, take the Rangers +1.5 and let's see if they can pull off an upset.
