The Texas Rangers (3-1) will enter Tuesday’s matchup vs. the Tampa Bay Rays (2-3) brimming with confidence after claiming Game 1 of their series. Surprisingly, bookmakers have given the home team -150 Moneyline edge since Texas will be missing the service of a star infielder due to an injury sustained in the last game.
Team Notes:
The Rangers claimed their third win of the season behind a stellar performance by third baseman Josh Jong, who recorded 4 RBIs but exited with a wrist injury. The defending champ’s offense is running like a well-oiled machine four games into the season. They rank 8th in batting average (.280), 4th in on-base percentage (.375), and 3rd in slugging percentage (.503).
The Rays, meanwhile, are having trouble scoring runs in their last two games. Tampa Bay is batting .231 and slugging .406 with 20 runs. Center fielder Jose Siri leads his team in batting average at .294 while Yandy Diaz and Randy Arozarena have recorded the highest number of RBIs (5) and HRs (2)., respectively.
Pitcher Matchup:
The Rangers will be starting left-handed pitcher Andre Heaney. Heaney, who went 10-6 with a 4.15 ERA and 151 strikeouts last season, allowed the Rays to bat .211 with six RBIs and 10 strikeouts in 38 at-bats.
The Rays will have Zach Eflin as the starter on Tuesday. Eflin looks to bounce back from a miserable season debut vs. the Toronto Blue Jays in which he conceded 6 earned runs and 3 homers in an 8-2 loss.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Texas Rangers Prediction
Given their dismal record against the visiting club in their previous five games, it is unexpected that the Rays are the favorites going into Tuesday's game. In their previous three encounters, the Rangers had demolished Tampa Bay, scoring 6.67 runs while allowing just 1.33 runs per game from the opposition. Josh Jung's production will be missed by the Rangers, but they will still be alright.
