Our Texas Rangers vs Washington Nationals Prediction
The Rangers are the clear favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. While both teams have been playing inconsistently recently, the Nationals have lost three games in a row. Now they start a guy in Kent, who has made a total of one start this season. In that lone start, Kent allowed three earned runs over just 4.0 innings.
As for Quantrill, he tends to come in out of the bullpen, but still has been serviceable when pitching on the road this season. In 12 away appearances (three starts), Quantrill has allowed 20 runs (14 earned) over 35.1 innings.
Further, the Rangers are still within grasp of the AL West, while the Nationals’ playoff hopes are hanging on by the smallest of threads. For this reason, our Texas Rangers vs Washington Nationals prediction is: Texas Rangers ML.
