The Texas Rangers (44-45) face off against the San Diego Padres (47-41) in the final game of their 3-game interleague series at Petco Park on Sunday, with the first pitch set for 6:10 p.m. PST.
The season series is tied 1-1. The Padres won Friday’s opener 3-2 as slight underdogs (-105), while the Rangers bounced back with a 7-4 victory on Saturday as underdogs (+115).
Texas catcher Kyle Higashioka shined with a 3-for-3 performance, including a home run and 5 RBIs.
The Rangers have won 3 of their last 4 games and are 3-1 in their last 4 road outings, with the Over hitting in 4 of their last six games.
Luis Arraez went 4-for-5 for the Padres, raising his average to .290, while Jake Cronenworth contributed with a home run and 2 RBIs.
Pitching Matchup
Jack Leiter is making his 15th start of the season with a record of 4-5 and a 4.29 ERA, along with a WHIP of 1.30 and averages of 4.0 walks and 7.3 strikeouts per nine innings over 71 1/3 innings.
In his last outing, he went six innings, allowing one earned run on seven hits with no walks and seven strikeouts in a no-decision during a 6-4 home loss to the Mariners.
This season, he has a 1-3 record and a 4.55 ERA in road games, with 31 2/3 innings pitched, 16 earned runs, three home runs, 20 walks, and 26 strikeouts. Leiter has never faced the Padres.
The Padres have chosen David Morgan to take the mound, likely leading into a bullpen game. Morgan’s most recent appearance was against the Phillies at the end of June, where he pitched two scoreless innings.
Morgan is 0-1, with a 2.08 ERA, along with a WHIP of .98 and twenty strikeouts and 7 walks this season.
The Rangers present a solid opportunity with Leiter on the mound, primarily as the Padres work to establish their pitching strategy for Sunday’s interleague series finale.
While the Padres’ bullpen boasts a 3.33 ERA this season, bettors shouldn’t worry if San Diego opts for a bullpen game. The Rangers have the edge with a slightly better 3.32 ERA, and their bullpen is equally capable of performing well.
Take the Rangers to pull off the upset on the road in this one.
