Marlins vs Rangers Preview
The Rangers have lost four games in a row and could soon be out of the Wild Card or their own division race if they don't react now.
The Marlins, on the contrary, have won three straight, so this is where it makes sense that those streaks stop.
Texas is a really strong home team, with a 47-28 record at Globe Life Field in 2025. They will face the Marlins' Janson Junk, who has been pummeled in his past seven outings with a 6.39 ERA over that span.
While both offenses have been lackluster throughout the year, the Rangers also have the edge with their relievers. The Texas bullpen ranks fifth in ERA this season with 3.59, while the Marlins are 22nd with 4.37
Our Bet Labs recommendation is to back the Rangers to snap their losing streak.
When the Marlins open a series against a team coming off a game in the Eastern or Central time zone, the market often underrates the visiting team due to the perception of minimal travel impact.
In reality, these teams enter Game 1 with their routines intact and without the challenges of cross-country adjustments, allowing them to perform at expected or elevated levels.
Because the Marlins are not typically priced as a top-tier opponent, this creates value in fading them in the series opener.
This system capitalizes on that edge by betting against the Marlins in Game 1 during the regular or postseason when their opponent's previous game was played in the Eastern or Central time zone, turning overlooked market assumptions into a profitable opportunity.
Pick: Rangers ML -165 (bet365)
