Philadelphia Phillies - Texas Rangers Key Points

  1. Texas leads the all-time series vs. Philadelphia 15-11; the Rangers are 12-3 at home vs. the Phillies.
  2. The Rangers are 36-22 at home; the Phillies are 29-28 on the road.
  3. deGrom gave up five runs in each of his last two starts, including five home runs; he has given up ten home runs across his last six starts.
  4. Betting Public: Moneyline tickets are split 54% to 46% between the Phillies and Rangers, but the handle is split 74% to 26%.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Texas Rangers Prediction

Jacob deGrom has not been at his best in his last two starts, both on the road. But he has done well against the Phillies lineup in the past, holding them to a .227 BA in 172 at-bats (39-172 with five home runs). However, the Phillies have been hitting well lately (.275 over the last week). Luzardo is capable of having a great outing, but it could just as easily go the other way. That inconsistency is a concern. The stage is set for a Phillies victory, but a return home could be just what deGrom needs. I don’t have a ton of confidence in the Rangers' lineup, but I think deGrom will bounce back and get a W for Texas.
