The Texas Rangers are taking to the road, a place that they have not been able to play that well as they are 4 games under the five hundred mark. The Rays, for their part are playing at home and while the Rays have been able to play decent, the team is only 2 games over the five hundred mark overall at home. That alone can make it very difficult for the Rays to pull off a win in this game here.

A major issue for the Rangers coming into this game here is the fact that the Hunter Pence is injured again. He is the leading run producer for the Rangers and his injury take up a big chunk of the offense. The downside is the Rays are not battling any major offensive injuries on the year and that can definitely help them out in this game.
Heading into this game the Rangers have managed to get 712 hits on the year and are hitting at a clip of .256 on the season. The Rangers have driven in a total of 447 runs with 115 homers. Pitching for the Rangers has been done at an ERA of 4.74 on the year with the opponents hitting at a clip of .268. The team has managed to strike out 673 batters and walked only 285.

With the Tampa Bay squad the team has been able to get a total of 718 hits while hitting at a clip of .254 on the season. The Rays have ended up putting in a total of 372 runs with 101 homers on the year. The Rays have a team ERA of 3.23 on the year with the opponents only hitting at a clip of .224 on the season. With the team they have struck out 763 batters and walked only 240.

The Rangers are missing a large chunk of their offensive run production in this game. However, the Rangers are also struggling in pitching compared to the Rays. That is going to make a difference in this game as the Rays are able to shut down the Rangers offense, which is missing Pence, fairly easily in this game and control the game easily. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Rays win 6-2.
