April 17, 2024




The Texas Rangers (9-9) will compete against the Detroit Tigers (10-7) in game three of their four-game series on Wednesday, April 17 at 1:10 PM ET at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan. The Tigers are slightly favored to find success with a moneyline at -145.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Rangers are 2-3 in their latest five battles heading into game three. Their previous matchup was a 4-2 defeat against the Tigers, which put this series to 1-1.

Strong pitching will be one of the biggest factors in this game, but they are seemingly at a disadvantage. They currently have Dane Dunning (2-1) on the mound, who has a 4.50 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP in 18.0 innings pitched.

Adolis Garcia will be key to watch, as he leads them with a batting average at .303 and four home runs. Marcus Semien leads with 16 RBIs and should make a positive impact on this game. Both will need to have stability for their chances at success.

The Rangers have been great at getting .261 at the plate and keeping their opponents down to .222. However, they did not look as appealing in their last series with the Astros and cannot afford another slip up in this series.

Detroit Tigers Betting Preview

The Tigers have won two out of their last three games and have solid momentum on their side. After winning game two, they have shown they can win low scoring games against good offensive teams. They scored two runs late to help push them along to victory and had appealing pitching.

Tarik Skubal (2-0) has an ERA at 2.08 and a 0.75 WHIP in just 17.1 innings pitched. His presence on the mound will be key to their shot at victory, especially since his averages are better compared to the Twins.

Mark Canha leads them in a variety of offensive categories. He has three home runs, a .222 batting average, and eight RBIs. While these numbers are lacking in comparison to the offense from the Rangers, their pitching has ideally helped win a lot of their games.

They have a batting average at .213, which is quite low and arguably hard to watch at times. However, they give it right back on defense and allow their opponents to average .201 in return.
