The Texas Rangers come into this game riding high after blanking the Giants 2-0 behind strong pitching and timely hitting. Texas has been up and down lately, dropping two of three to the Athletics before winning the series opener against San Francisco. Rookie Jack Leiter has been sensational early, holding a sparkling 0.90 ERA through 10 innings, and will look to keep the ball rolling against a potent Giants lineup.

Defensively, Texas has been tough, ranking with a team ERA of 3.26 and a WHIP of 1.09. Opponents are hitting just .219 against the Rangers' pitching staff. At the plate, Wyatt Langford leads the club with six homers, while Adolis Garcia has chipped in 11 RBIs. Corey Seager, despite a .286 average, is sidelined with an injury and will miss this contest, a big blow for the Texas offense.

The San Francisco Giants look to rebound after being held scoreless Friday, a rare offensive drought for a team that has piled up 129 runs so far this season. San Francisco had won three straight before the series opener loss, and they'll lean on Jordan Hicks to snap the slide, though Hicks has struggled badly with a 6.59 ERA across 27.1 innings this year.

On the defensive side, San Francisco’s ERA stands at 3.50 with a WHIP of 1.26, not terrible but not elite either. Offensively, Wilmer Flores has been huge, leading the team with seven homers and 27 RBIs, while Jung Hoo Lee sports an impressive .330 batting average. Injuries are a concern, as multiple bullpen arms, including Enny Romero and Cole Waites remain sidelined, weakening the Giants' relief options.

Jack Leiter’s dominance on the mound, combined with Texas’ slightly better pitching numbers, gives the Rangers an edge, even without Corey Seager. Jordan Hicks has been hittable all season, and against a Rangers lineup that can still go deep with Langford and Garcia, the Giants could find themselves chasing early. Final Score Prediction: Texas Rangers win 5-3.
