The Texas Rangers, whose offense has struggled leading to a losing streak, will have Nathan Eovaldi (2 wins, 2 losses, 2.70 ERA) making a bid for his third win of the season. Eovaldi showed impressive performance in the home game against Detroit on the 4th, pitching 5.2 innings, allowing 3 hits and 1 run. He seems to have returned to form. As a pitcher who is typically strong at home, there is enough reason to expect a good performance in this game. The Texas lineup managed to score just 1 run against Spencer Howard in the previous game and seems to be struggling to pick up their pace in this series. Failing to capitalize on the starting pitcher may leave lingering effects. The bullpen threw 3.1 innings without allowing a run, indicating that John Grey's condition check was successful.
The San Francisco Giants, who succeeded in achieving a three-game winning streak with a standout performance from Heliot Ramos, will see Keaton Win (3 wins, 6 losses, 6.17 ERA) returning from injury. After suffering a right arm injury and being placed on the injured list following a poor outing against the Dodgers on May 15, Win has completed his rehabilitation and is back. If Win is in normal condition, he can be highly effective, and given the content of his rehab outings in AAA, there is reason to hope for a comeback. Although the Giants won their previous game, their offense, which managed only 1 home run and 3 RBIs from Heliot Ramos against Andrew Heaney, did not inspire confidence, especially considering their 0 for 7 in scoring opportunities.
The offensive performance of both teams in this series cannot be described as good, even by a long shot. The matchup between the strong Eovaldi at home and the returning Win seems evenly matched. Ultimately, it may come down to a battle of the bullpens, and San Francisco has used up their key relievers in the previous two games, which could become an issue in the late innings. The Texas Rangers have the advantage for a closer finish.
Expected score: 4-3 in favor of Texas.
Handicap: San Francisco wins.
Over/Under: Under.
