Prediction: Texas Rangers VS Washington Nationals 2025-06-08
The Texas Rangers are looking to keep their momentum going after a dominating 5-0 win over the Washington Nationals, thanks to Jacob deGrom's masterful performance. However, deGrom won't be on the mound for this one, and the Rangers have yet to announce their starter.
On the other hand, the Nationals will send Trevor Williams to the hill, who has an underwhelming ERA of 6.03 and a WHIP of 1.441. Not exactly the most confidence-inspiring numbers. But hey, the Nationals have been decent as underdogs, winning 51.9% of their games in that role.
The Rangers, as favorites, have a strong record, winning 62.5% of their games when expected to come out on top. They also boast the No. 1 WHIP in the majors (1.145), which is no small feat. However, their batting average is a paltry .221, second-worst in the league.
Given the Rangers' strong record as favorites and the Nationals' struggles with Trevor Williams on the mound, I'm going to take the Rangers to win this one. But, considering the uncertainty surrounding the Rangers' starter, I'll play it safe and take the Rangers on the moneyline at -142.
Best Bet: Texas Rangers ML (-142)
