Why The Rangers Could Cover The Spread

The Rangers will need the game of their lives from their hitters. Likewise, they need the bullpen to avoid struggles. It has been an unfortunate situation all season, and they need to rectify it.

Lowe is batting .220 with two home runs, four RBIs, and six runs. Also, he is 5 for 19 in this series with one home run, two RBIs, and three runs. Corey Seager is hitting .333 with two home runs, four RBIs, and nine runs. Likewise, he is 5 for 21 in this series with one home run, one RBI, and three runs. Leody Tavares is batting .281 with one home run, three RBIs, and five runs. Also, he is 4 for 13 in the ALCS, with one home run, one RBI, and one run. Additionally, Garcia is now hitting .286 with four home runs, 11 RBIs, and five runs in the playoffs. Also, he has two home runs, six RBIs, and three runs in the ALCS.

But the bullpen has been leaky, especially over the past three games. Unfortunately, their bullpen has allowed three earned runs in each of the past three games. It was an issue throughout the season., and they have not been able to escape it.

The Rangers will cover the spread if their offense can stay consistent. Then, they need production from their bullpen.

Why The Astros Could Cover The Spread

The Astros looked dead in the water after two games. However, they fought back, as they always do, and are now in firm control of the ALCS after winning the last three games in Arlington.

Altuve is batting .256 with three home runs, five RBIs, and eight runs in the playoffs. Meanwhile, he is 6 for 22 in the ALCS with two home runs, four RBIs, and six runs. Bregman is hitting .206 with three home runs, six RBIs, and eight runs in the postseason. Additionally, he is 4 for 19 with two home runs, four RBIs, and four runs in the series. Yordan Alvarez is batting .417 with six home runs, 13 RBIs, and 11 runs. Moreover, he is batting 8 for 20 with two home runs, seven RBIs, and four runs in the ALCS. Kyle Tucker is struggling throughout the playoffs, hitting .156 with one RBI and four runs while still looking for his first home run. Also, he is just 3 for 18 with two runs in the ALCS.

The bullpen has allowed only three earned runs over the last three, all of which came in Game 3. Significantly, the bullpen did its job in Games 4 and 5 to help set up the series lead.
