The Texas Rangers will go against the San Diego Padres in MLB action in Petco Park, CA, on Friday, July 28, 2023, at 9:40 PM ET.

 

Dane Dunning will take the mound for the Rangers. The last time out, Dunning had one of his worst performances of the year, surrendering five runs, including two home runs, in three innings against the Dodgers.

 

He was given the loss. The seasoned right-hander is having the finest season of his career despite struggling in two of his previous three appearances.

 

In 102 innings, he has a 3.18 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and an 8-3 record. In his previous three outings, Dunning gave up three home runs. He is facing the Padres for the first time today.

 

Despite scoring 25 runs this week, Texas lost two of three road games against the Astros after losing a home series to the Dodgers last weekend. The pitching was not as good as it once was.

 

The division’s advantage shrunk to just two games. In their most recent 10 choices, they are presently 5-5. A fantastic season is being had by Ezequiel Duran.

 

In his first complete season in the major leagues, the 24-year-old shortstop has 13 home runs, 38 RBIs, and a .831 OPS. He lately lost steam, with a.530 OPS in July.

 

Last weekend, Corey Seager was placed on the injured list, which is a huge blow. Texas averages 5.87 runs per game, which is the most in the Major Leagues.

 

The squad’s 4.19 team ERA ranks them 15th overall, indicating average pitching.

 

So far this season, the Rangers sent 282 relievers to the mound. They made 19 saves so far this season and missed 18 of their 37 chances to make saves.

 

The Rangers bullpen entered the game in 85 save situations and has a cumulative save percentage of 51.4%. The bullpen relievers are 22nd in the league with 47 holds on the season.

 

With opponents on base 95 times and in high-pressure situations 89 times, relief pitchers for the Rangers entered games.

 

  • The total went OVER in 5 of Texas’ last 6 matches.
  • The Texas Rangers are 8-4 SU in their last 12 matches.
  • The Texas Rangers are 0-8 SU in their last 8 matches against San Diego.

Texas Rangers vs San Diego Padres Predictions 7/28/2023

 

In the first game of the series, Joe Musgrove will get the start. Musgrove had a respectable earlier start against the Tigers, giving up three runs on seven hits over six innings, but he was given the loss.

 

The veteran was terrific, giving up 0 or 1 run in 3 of his previous 4 appearances, and he currently has a 9-3 record in 91.1 innings thrown in addition to a respectable 3.25 ERA and 1.15 WHIP.

 

In his career, Musgrove limited the Rangers, tossing 37.1 innings with a 3.62 ERA and a 2-3 record. A lengthy winning run is necessary for San Diego.

 

Despite winning two of their most recent three series, they are still 6.5 games away from a Wildcard position.

 

Prior to this series, they were unable to capitalize on a faltering Pirates team, losing two out of three games at home while scoring only 11 runs. The Padres’ record over their last ten games is 5-5.

 

Manny Machado is still unstoppable as seen by his astounding 26 RBI total and 1.1 OPS for the month. The seasoned shortstop leads the team with 59 RBIs, 20 home runs, and a strong .788 OPS.

 

In 45 matches versus the Rangers in his career, he collected 25 RBIs. San Diego ranks 13th in the league with 4.51 runs scored per game on the season. With a second-place 3.78 team ERA, the pitching is a strength.

 

San Diego had 46 opportunities to save the game by bringing in bullpen pitchers, and they had 26 times. They sent 326 relief pitchers to the mound this season, and they are ranked 24th with a save percentage of 56.5%.

 

On top of 75 times with runners on base, their bullpen relievers faced high-leverage situations 103 times. On 116 inherited runners, San Diego relievers scored 35.3% of the time.

 

The Padres have 105 save opportunities, 59 holds, and 20 missed saves.

 

  • The total went OVER in 7 of San Diego’s last 9 matches against Texas.
  • The San Diego Padres are 6-3 SU in their last 9 matches at home.
  • The total went OVER in 5 of San Diego’s last 6 matches at home against Texas.

Texas Rangers vs San Diego Padres. The MLB pick for this game is the San Diego Padres. In recent times, the Texas Rangers were not as formidable.

 

They are only just above .500 on the road and only won two of their previous six games. They are also playing without Corey Seager, who has the team’s highest OPS, which doesn’t help.

 

The San Diego Padres won two of their previous three series and are desperate to remain in the Wildcard picture. Dane Dunning, the Rangers’ starter, was not as effective either.

 

The right-hander’s most recent outing saw him waste five runs. Joe Musgrove, a starter for the Padres, was outstanding, with a brilliant 1.80 ERA in his four appearances this month.

 

This features contests with the Blue Jays, Mets, and Angels. Out of his four starts this month, the Padres prevailed in three. The San Diego Padres will win to a predicted score of 6-5.
