The Guardians are just three games out of the final wild card, while the Rangers, due to their recent losing streak in their last four series, are practically eliminated, despite having one of the most consistent starting pitchers in MLB. These teams will face each other in another series at Globe Life Field starting Friday.

Of course, the Rangers' losing streak doesn't matter as much in games pitched by Eovaldi, their best pitcher, with an elite 1.76 ERA this season and a Cy Young Award candidate. Even during the losing streak, the Rangers won each of Eovaldi's last five appearances.

Meanwhile, the opposite is true for the Guards' starting pitcher on Friday, Cecconi, who didn't earn a win in any of his last five outings.

On Thursday, while Guardian rested, the Rangers' pitching again couldn't contain Pasquantino's bat in Kansas City, in a series where the Rangers allowed four home runs to the Royals' player.

Cleveland Guardians - Texas Rangers Key Points

  1. The Rangers struck out 12 times in Friday's game against the Royals
  2. This is the first Guardians-Rangers series of 2025
  3. 17-24, Guardians record in Game 1 of the 2025 series
  4. Rangers' collective ERA, best in MLB

Our Cleveland Guardians vs Texas Rangers Prediction

Although Stephen Vogt says he doesn't see the outcome of other games and that the Guardians' aspirations depend on themselves, the truth is that it will be difficult for them to win this first game against Eovaldi. 

He is the pitcher with the best ERA over a 120-inning period in the MLB, while the Guardians this year have the worst collective AVG in MLB.

Our prediction for Rangers vs Guardians is: Rangers ML.
