The Rangers are coming into this game with a 59-69 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have won 3 of their last 4 games, but they have also lost 4 of their last 7 games, and those 3 wins all came at home as well. They have struggled all season as they are currently outside of the playoff race in the AL and they have been much worse on the road this season at 25-38, even losing 3 of their last 4 games on the road. They are going up against a Guardians team that is 73-54 this season and has been awful in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games, but they also played 2 series against much stronger teams in the Brewers and the Yankees. Now they are going up against a Rangers team that is under .500 and the Guardians have been much better at home as well at 38-20 this season. They will be hungry to bounce back after that awful road trip and they have won their last 3 straight games at home as well. Tanner Bibee is starting for the Guardians in this game and he is 10-5 with a 3.33 ERA this season. He has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 5 starts and has allowed just 1 earned run or less in each of his last 2 as well as 4 of his last 5 starts. He has been great at home recently as he only allowed 1 earned run total in his last 2 starts there, and he also faced the Rangers earlier this season, allowing no runs in a little over 5 innings. Nathan Eovaldi is starting for the Rangers in this game and he is 8-7 with a 3.76 ERA this season. He has not been great in his recent starts though as he has been allowing more runs recently. He has allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 4 starts and has allowed at least 4 runs in 2 of his last 3 starts as well. He has also allowed more runs on the road consistently as he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in 6 of his last 7 road starts. The Guardians have not been playing well recently but they have been much better at home this season and will be hungry to bounce back here. They also have the better offense to lean on as well as the better bullpen to take them deep into this game if Bibee struggles at any point. The Guardians will win this game at home.
