Texas Rangers

As the Texas Rangers prepare to host the Minnesota Twins on September 23, 2025, both teams find themselves in a challenging spot in the standings. The Rangers sit at 79-77, reflecting an average season, while the Twins, with a record of 67-89, are experiencing a tough year. This matchup marks the first of their series, and the Rangers will be looking to capitalize on their home field advantage at Globe Life Field.

Both teams have had their struggles recently, but the Rangers have a slight edge with a better overall performance. In their last game, the Rangers managed a solid performance, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the pressure. They will be pinning their hopes on left-handed pitcher Patrick Corbin, who, despite ranking #283 in MLB Power Rankings, has shown flashes of competence this season with a 4.33 ERA. Corbin’s projection indicates he will pitch approximately 4.8 innings and allow around 2.5 earned runs, which is average, but he will need to improve on his tendency to allow 4.9 hits and 1.4 walks, both of which rank as terrible.

On the other hand, the Twins will counter with right-hander Zebby Matthews, who has had an average season, with a 5.97 ERA. The projections suggest he will pitch 5.1 innings, allowing 2.4 earned runs, which is above average, making him a potential asset on the mound. However, both pitchers face lineups that have been struggling; the Rangers rank 26th in offensive performance while the Twins sit at 18th.

The Rangers are currently favored with a moneyline of -140, reflecting a 56% implied win probability, while the Twins, as underdogs at +120, have an implied win probability of 44%. With the total set at 8.5 runs, bettors should keep an eye on both pitching matchups, as they could dictate the flow of the game. A strong outing from either Corbin or Matthews could tip the scales, making this an intriguing game to watch.

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.
• James Outman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  James Outman has seen a significant improvement in his exit velocity of late; just compare his 96.8-mph average over the last 7 days to his seasonal 88-mph average.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• 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 (+100/-130)
  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 (+135/-170)
  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 (+125/-160)
  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.
