Texas Rangers

As the Texas Rangers prepare to host the Minnesota Twins on September 23, 2025, both teams are looking to bounce back from their recent outings. The Rangers lost their last game 4-2, while the Twins emerged victorious with a 6-2 win. With the Rangers holding a record of 79-77, they are having an average season, while the Twins sit at 67-89, struggling significantly.

In this matchup, Patrick Corbin is projected to take the mound for the Rangers. Corbin has had a rough year, with a 7-10 record and ranking as the 283rd best starting pitcher in MLB, according to advanced stats. He projects to pitch around 4.9 innings, allowing an average of 2.4 earned runs, but his tendency to give up 4.8 hits and 1.3 walks per game raises concerns. Conversely, Zebby Matthews, starting for the Twins, has a slightly better outlook. While his 5.97 ERA is poor, his 3.85 xFIP suggests he could be due for a turnaround.

Offensively, the Rangers rank 26th in the league, struggling to generate consistent runs, which could be a disadvantage against Matthews, who, despite his recent struggles, has the potential to perform better. The Twins, ranking 18th in offense, have a better chance to capitalize on Corbin’s weaknesses, particularly given their recent form.

Betting markets have set the Rangers as slight favorites with a moneyline of -135, indicating a close contest. With the game total set at 8.0 runs, it suggests a potentially low-scoring affair. The projections lean towards a tighter contest than the records might indicate, making this matchup one to watch closely.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Zebby Matthews – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  Generating 14.5 outs per game per started this year on average, Zebby Matthews falls in the 14th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Christian Vazquez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)
  Christian Vazquez’s exit velocity on flyballs has declined this year; his 90.5-mph mark last season has dropped to 86.6-mph.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Minnesota Twins – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen profiles as the 3rd-worst out of all the teams in the game.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Patrick Corbin – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
  Patrick Corbin’s higher utilization rate of his secondary pitches this year (68.1% compared to 58.6% last year) should work in his favor considering they are typically much more effective than fastballs.
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Joc Pederson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-165)
  Joc Pederson has been unlucky this year, posting a .276 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .342 — a .066 gap.
  Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
• Josh Jung – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Josh Jung hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.4% — 98th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards MLB’s 7th-deepest CF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
