Bettors should keep an eye on updates as the game day approaches, with particular attention to shifts in moneyline and spread which could indicate insider confidence or concern.

Dane Dunning (4-4, 4.09 ERA) vs. James Paxton (5-1, 4.19 ERA)

Dane Dunning of the Rangers has had a good season—when it comes to the numbers of innings pitched—although he has a tendency to give home runs as shown by the 10 home runs he has allowed this season over 50.2 innings. His control and strikeout or the 57 Ks show that if only he could lower his HR allowed he is more than capable of dominating the league. However, his WHIP of 1.18 can by no means be considered small, nonetheless, it will have to be approached cautiously against the Los Angeles Dodgers, which are capable of leveraging on any untidy pitching.

James Paxton on the other side has equally delivered good results as measured by his win-loss ratio but has a higher 4.19 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 53.2 innings. His strikeout per nine inning ratio is dwarfed by that of Dunning, while his WHIP is higher showing that he often gets into jams. This game could be very critical for the Dodgers as Paxton must contain a high number of walks and restrict hits for the hot-tempered Rangers’ batting formation.

The Texas Rangers are showcasing a batting average of .243 and a slugging percentage of .384, with a notable accumulation of 65 home runs this season.
