The Texas Rangers will try to keep from being swept in their three-game series with the Cubs when they play in Game Three today at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL. Fans can follow the action when the game gets started on a regional carrier, Victory +, at 2:20 p.m. EST.
Texas had been on a roll heading into the series, with wins in their last five games. But then their offense disappeared and they were shut out, 7-0, in Game One. They got on the board in Game Two with six runs, but there was one problem. The Cubs scored 10. The Rangers will give the ball to Tyler Mahle to start the game. He got the win in his last start after pitching five innings of one-hit ball while striking out five and walking two. Mahle has faced ten different players on the Cubs roster for 64 at-bats. In those at-bats, he gave up just 15 hits (one home run) and struck out 23. Chicago is giving the ball to Shota Imanaga. Imanaga no-hit the Dodgers in four innings during the Tokyo Series, and has won both starts since, lasting 7+ innings in both and giving up one run in each.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The lineup in Texas has been struggling to get on track, and it will not be easy to do so against Imanaga. Chicago’s lineup has been hitting okay, but Texas starter Tyker Mahle looked good in his last start. The desire to avoid getting swept can be a pretty strong motivator, but Imanag has been almost untouchable. If you want a winner, I’d say go with the Chicago ML, but I think the total may be the better bet.
Our Rangers vs. Cubs Pick: UNDER 7.5
