Texas Rangers
Texas lost the opener of their weekend series with Toronto but came back and won on Saturday and Sunday. This team is all about offense. They were held scoreless in that loss but then scored 8 and 10 runs and they are the top scoring team in the league at just under 6 runs per game. I am not sure that is sustainable with their lineup but it is keeping them competitive in the West for now.

Adrian Sampson has been in and out of the rotation this season but the Rangers are giving him another start after he put up his best one of the season – 5IP, 0ER with 5Ks against…Pittsburgh. Makes sense right. They are going to need him to be good once again and work a little deeper into the game as the Texas bullpen is one of the worst in the league.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates also won their weekend series thanks to an extra inning win over Oakland on Sunday. An extra off day before this one could be more helpful given the game went 13 innings. It was a wild win too with Pittsburgh scoring four in the bottom of the inning to offset the two they gave up. They are in the NL Central race for now but need to keep playing well.

Steven Brault has started in the past for Pittsburgh so this is probably not a true opener situation but he has not made any starts for them this season. He has not been very good for the Bucs and even though they are off on Monday they are going to need some serious bullpen help for this one most likely. That pen has the best K rate in the Majors.

Free Texas Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Prediction:
I generally speaking like Pittsburgh better than Texas but I am not sure this is the spot to back the home team.

I think Sampson gives them an edge in this spot. He pitches well enough to get them a win. .
