The greatest wagers for Sunday’s baseball game between the Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers are discussed by VSiN’s Greg Peterson.

The Texas Rangers, who are now second in the American League West, will play home to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday in an effort to reclaim that position.

The Rangers start Jon Gray, a pitcher with an overall record of 8-7 and a 3.79 ERA this year, but he is in bad form as he has given up at least three runs in seven of his last ten outings.

Additionally, Gray has struggled most at home, where his ERA is 4.17 and he allows 1.3 home runs per nine innings, compared to his road ERA of 3.41 and 0.8 home runs per nine innings.

The Twins’ offense has been among the best in the American League since the All-Star Break, ranking third in runs per game with 5.2 runs per game in their last 44 games entering Saturday, with an American League-best 75 home runs in that span. Despite the fact that the Twins’ overall road batting average this season is 27th, their offense has been one of the best in the league since the All-Star Break.

With a 4.69 ERA this season, 1.5 home runs per nine innings allowed, and at least three runs allowed in each of his last three appearances, Kenta Maeda will pitch for the Twins after originally flourishing after a stay on the injured list.

Maeda is tasked with controlling a Rangers lineup that leads the American League in home runs per game this season with 1.7 and ranks third in home batting average with a mark of.276. The Rangers also have seven players with at least 11 home runs at home this year, which leads the league.

Since the All-Star Break, both teams have struggled mightily with their bullpens, with the Twins’ bullpen ERA ranking 21st and the Rangers’ at 25th during that same time.

There will be a lot of runs scored in Texas on Sunday thanks to the weak performances of both bullpens, the Twins’ recent offensive surge, and the overall power of the Rangers’ attack.
