Starting Pitching Matchup

Rangers

MacKenzie Gore (8-11, 4-59 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) gets the nod, and the Rangers have lost two of his last three starts. In his last start, he allowed only two runs in five innings, but the bullpen let him down in a 6-3 loss to the New York Mets. He has allowed five runs in his last two outings and nine in the two before that. Gore has not faced the Twins this season, where he has logged 170 2/3 innings, striking out 174 and walking 70.

Twins

Dean Kremer (4-5, 4.97 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) takes the hill, and he is coming off a gem in his last start, tossing six scoreless innings and only allowing one hit in an 8-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The Twins had lost four of his starts in a row before winning two of his last three, where he allowed just three runs in 16 2/3 innings. He has not faced Texas this season and came to Minnesota in early July in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles. While Krewer struggled with the Orioles with an ERA of 6.50 he has pitched well for the Twins and this month in four starts has an ERA of 3.50. This season, He has struck out 82 and walked 29 in 83 1/3 innings.

Rangers vs. Twins Prediction:  Twins +105 

74% of the betting public is backing the Rangers in this season finale, but I am going against the public in this one.

The Twins had won three in a row before the Game 2 loss, while the Rangers have lost five of their last seven games. Texas has buckled under playoff pressure lately, and they will do it again in this game.

Kremer was lights out in his last start and has allowed only three runs over his last three starts. He will have another good outing facing a less-than-daunting Rangers lineup that has averaged only three runs over the last six games.

Gore gave up only two runs in his last start and five in his last two, but a total of nine runs in his two starts before that. He will be decent in this outing, but Kremer will have the better one.

The Twins are playing free with no playoff pressure, while the Rangers will be tight. Minnesota will play spoiler, getting the win and eliminating Texas from the playoffs.
