The Twins won Saturday's game 5-2 in Texas against the Rangers. They are now just 2 games behind the Rangers, have won 7 of the last 10 and will look for a sweep against the Rangers. None of the Twins' last 4 games have exceeded 10 runs in total. Their great pitching continues to stand out, a strikeout that has the 2nd best K/9 ratio in MLB with 9.22.

The Rangers' Bullpen did not function properly at any time this season. At this point in 2024, the Bullpen of the current MLB champion remains the 4th worst in ERA in MLB with 4.58. In addition, it is the 2nd Bullpen this season that has given up the most BBs with 219.

The Twins will face the last game of the series as visitors and favorites, in that condition, the Twins have a record of 23-13. The opposite is true for the Rangers, who have a 6-12 record when they are at home and underdogs.

Mahle will start his third game of the season with the Rangers, after a long rehab Mahle had two pleasant first outings. Between the two he pitched 9.2 innings, struck out 9 and allowed only 3 ER.

Our Texas Rangers vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

Venezuelan Lopez will try to continue lowering his ERA, which is at 4.67, but he still has a record of 11-8 and a good number of strikeouts with 149. Without a doubt, the Venezuelan's biggest problem has been keeping the ball in the park, as he has allowed 22 HR this season. His last start was the 4th in the last 5 where the Venezuelan was able to reach 6 complete innings, and in that last start against the Royals he was credited with his 11th win and did not allow a single BB. Our prediction for Twins vs Rangers is: Twins ML, -122 at FanDuel.
