The Texas Rangers look to end their two-game losing streak and win Game 1 of their three-game series against the Detroit Tigers.
The Rangers are 18–20 and sit fourth in the AL West Division. This is Game 4 of a six-game road trip for Texas, and so far they've gone 1–2. They just dropped two of three to the Boston Red Sox. The offense and pitching performed well in Game 1, but both declined quickly in the next two games. Texas will look to get the offense going again after being shut out 5–0 in the final game of the Boston series.
The Tigers are 25–13 and first in the AL Central Division. They've won four straight and just wrapped up a ten-game road trip with a 7–3 record. Over the last four games, both the offense and pitching have been solid. Detroit has scored 10 or more runs in each of their last three games, while the pitching staff has allowed two runs or less in those contests. The Tigers are coming off a comfortable sweep of the struggling Colorado Rockies.

On the pitching side, they rank seventh in ERA. Wyatt Langford leads the team in both batting average and home runs. The Rangers haven't won a series since mid-April and have frequently lost series two games to one. Their wins usually come when they play well on both sides of the ball, while their losses are often due to offensive struggles or poor pitching performances.
On the mound for the Rangers is Patrick Corbin, who is 2–1 with a 3.28 ERA. He hasn't recorded a quality start yet this season, but typically pitches five innings, allowing one to two runs and five to seven hits.

Spencer Torkelson leads the team in home runs and RBIs. During this 7–1 stretch, many of their wins have been easy blowout victories. The bats are showing no signs of slowing down, and the pitching has been equally reliable.

Best Bet: Tigers Spread
Both of these teams have strong pitching staffs, but lately, the Rangers have been struggling on both sides of the ball, while the Tigers are one of the hottest teams in the league. Even though Detroit just beat up on some last-place teams, their bats are confident and their pitching isn't giving up much. Plus, Skubal's ERA continues to drop.
