Every team will be in action on Saturday with a total of 15 games on the MLB slate. One of these games will feature an interleague matchup between the Texas Rangers and the Chicago Cubs. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Rangers and the Cubs.

Chicago is still the hottest team in the league at the moment, having extended their win streak to 10 games by beating the Rangers in Game 1 of the series. Starting Game 2 on Saturday for the Cubs will be Edward Cabrera, who has a record of 3-0 and an ERA of 3.27. On the road, Cabrera has been much stronger, and because of that, he looks likely to shut down a struggling Texas offense.

As for Texas, their slide continues, as they have now lost eight of their last 11 games. Game 2 will not be much better as they are scheduled to start Jack Leiter, who has a record of 1-3 and an ERA of 5.45. Leiter has not even pitched well at home, meaning that his struggles are likely to continue against the Cubs.

Our Texas Rangers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

The Cubs are again the favorite, and rightly so, as they look to be the best betting option. For the Cubs, Cabrera not only has good overall numbers, but he has been even better when pitching on the road. In two away starts, Cabrera has allowed three earned runs over 11.1 innings.

Leiter, on the other hand, has three home starts this season, in which he has allowed nine runs (eight earned) over 16.0 innings. On top of that, the Cubs’ offense has been consistently scoring runs to support their starting pitcher. Therefore, given the form of both teams, our Texas Rangers vs Chicago Cubs prediction is: Chicago Cubs ML.
