Cubs vs Rangers MLB Betting Preview
Something’s happening in Arlington.
Over the past three seasons, Globe Life Field has turned into a pitcher’s paradise, now tied with Seattle for MLB’s lowest Park Factor (92).
The market hasn’t caught up. Over the past three seasons, Unders in Texas are 110-64-4, hitting at a 63% rate and producing a whopping 21% ROI (+37.6 units of profit).
Cubs vs Rangers Pick, Betting Analysis
I’m going back to the well on Sunday.
While Jacob deGrom is never going to repeat his Icarus-level peak, he’s still among the league’s better starting pitchers. He’s taken some heat off his fastball and started throwing more curveballs, vastly improving his batted-ball profile.
Jameson Taillon is bad. But given their disastrous ballpark situation, the Rangers can’t hit at home. They’ve posted a league-low 71 wRC+ at home this season behind a .597 OPS. They’re hitting the ball hard (43% hard-hit rate, 3rd) in the air (37% fly-ball rate, 9th), but nothing is materializing (.099 ISO, last).
Texas home Unders are an auto-bet for the foreseeable future.
Pick: Under 8
