MLB — Rangers -1.5 runs over Nationals +120 (win)
Rotation #968 | 8:10 PM ET
Alvarez/deGrom (listed pitchers)
If the Texas Rangers want to win the AL West or make a wild card appearance, they need to start winning games against teams with no path to the playoffs. Texas should take advantage of Nationals starter Andrew Alvarez’s walks and attack one of the worst bullpens in baseball. The Rangers are much better against left-handed pitching and will look to win the 3-game set at home. The moneyline is a bit high, so we will take the run line. Take the Rangers +120.
