Rangers (69-47) vs Giants (62-54)
Texas Rangers vs San Francisco Giants Aug 13, 2023 — On Sunday, the Rangers aim to assert their dominance after having a strong grip on the first two games of the weekend series. By potentially completing one of their most comprehensive series sweeps in recent memory, they could solidify their position in the AL West by securing another victory away from home. Despite encountering occasional challenges along the way, they have managed to establish a 2.0-game lead over Houston. Presently holding a 29-27 record on the road, their performance has been exceptional, marked by a remarkable 9-1 standing in their most recent ten games. While confidence has undoubtedly propelled their success, depth’s significance cannot be overlooked, particularly as they transition from the weekend to the midweek phase.
In contrast, the Giants are presently navigating a challenging period, and the relentless winning streak of the Dodgers has caused them to lose ground in the NL West division. Although the Wild Card competition is intensifying, the Giants have only secured a 4-6 record in their last ten games, and they currently lag 7.5 games behind the leading Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite maintaining a respectable 33-25 record at home, the weekend series has proven arduous for them. A potential sweep at the hands of the Rangers could have significant repercussions, particularly as the month of August unfolds and each game gains heightened importance.

Texas SP Dane Dunning (9-4) and San Francisco SP Logan Webb (9-9)
The Rangers’ Dane Dunning will get the ball as he continues his outstanding season. His record is 9-4, his ERA is 3.21, and recent road starts have become regular for him. He pitched six innings and three runs in his most recent outing against Oakland. His stats have been a little larger recently, and since the Giants’ bullpen was thinned out over the weekend, he’ll need to be sharp right away against them.
The Giants will start Logan Webb at the mound in a crucial game. Even though the right-hander’s record might use some work, his ERA is impressive, and he has much experience. He has a 9-9 record and is in danger of going winless, but his 3.38 ERA indicates that things might be difficult for the Rangers in this one.
Odds/Point Spread: Texas Rangers +126, Total Odds: 8
After taking the series’ first two games, the Rangers are in the lead. Additionally, their depth will unquestionably be important since they depend on one of their best pitchers at the end of a weekend series. The Giants’ injury problems will only worsen as they get used to playing without three of their top offensive threats. Due to their lack of run-makers, San Francisco won’t overcome the Rangers’ capacity to score double-digit runs on any given night.
