Philadelphia Phillies vs. Texas Rangers ML

The big storyline of this Phillies-Rangers series opener is former Rangers starter Kyle Gibson’s return to Texas after being dealt to the Phillies last year. Before joining the Rangers, Gibson (4-2, 4.04) was 2-1 with a 3.08 in seven starts against them. Texas seems to have the pitching edge with Martin Perez (4-2, 2.10) on the mound, as he has the fourth-best ERA in the American League and sixth-best in baseball. However, against the one opponent he faced recently who mashes lefties, the Chicago White Sox, Perez allowed a season-high seven runs, six of which were earned.

Philadelphia ranks fifth in the majors in wOBA (.342) against left-handed pitchers, and its 118 wRC+ is tied for fifth. In addition, the Phillies are 14-3 under interim manager Rob Thomson, and we expect their prowess against lefties to help them get to Perez while Gibson shuts down his former teammates.

Bet: Philadelphia Phillies ML (-105 at DraftKings)
