Atlanta Braves vs Texas Rangers Predictions 5/17/2023

 

On Monday, the Texas Rangers had a rough outing and were shut out by the Atlanta Braves. Nonetheless, the Rangers continue to lead the majors in runs per game, even with Corey Seager sidelined due to injury.

 

Adolis Garcia has been one of the main contributors to their offensive prowess, with a league-leading number of RBIs and 10 home runs (as of Tuesday.

 

Although strikeouts have been a minor issue, the rest of the lineup has more than made up for it with Semien and Heim consistently delivering solid performances.

 

Taking the mound for the Rangers in this game is Nathan Eovaldi, who has been in incredible form of late. He’s thrown 25.2 shutout innings in his last three starts, and the Rangers have emerged victorious in each of those games.

 

With an outstanding 1.96 FIP, a 0.994 WHIP, and just one home run allowed, Eovaldi has all but secured his spot on the AL’s All-Star team.

 

While the bullpen behind him was a bit shaky, it hasn’t prevented the Rangers from holding the top in the AL West.

 

  • The Texas Rangers are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games.
  • The total went OVER in 4 of Texas’ last 5 meetings with the Atlanta Braves.
  • The total hung OVER in 5 of Texas’ last 5 games at home.

Atlanta Braves vs Texas Rangers. The MLB pick for this game is the Texas Rangers. Despite these teams having two great offenses, Wednesday’s contest should be an old-fashioned pitcher’s duel.

 

With two aces on the mound, this should be a low-scoring affair. Also, the Under is 4-0 in the Braves’ last 4 road games versus a right-handed starter.

 

The Under has also hit in the Braves’ last 3 out of 5 games. The Rangers should get it done at home behind Eovaldi, but the play here is on the Under. Final Score Prediction, Texas Rangers win, but the Under hits, 3-2.
