Milwaukee Form & Recent Results

Milwaukee enters this matchup with plenty of momentum, riding a three-game winning streak and taking three of its previous five games heading into Saturday’s middle contest of the three-game set with Texas. The Brewers picked up one of those victories at home against the Rangers on Friday, while the other two came on the road against the Mets in Queens. In Friday’s 6-1 win over Texas, catcher William Contreras helped lead the offense by going 2-for-4 with two singles and three RBIs, giving Milwaukee an important boost at the plate. Logan Henderson was just as impressive on the mound, working seven strong innings while giving up only one hit and one earned run. He did not issue a walk and struck out seven Rangers hitters, setting the tone for a dominant pitching performance. As a team, the Brewers piled up 14 hits and 16 total bases in the win, while their pitching staff combined for 12 strikeouts, allowed just two hits, and walked only one batter.

The Brewers have also been getting production from several key bats throughout the year. First baseman Jake Bauers leads the club in home runs with 23, giving Milwaukee a reliable power source in the lineup. Jackson Chourio has also been a major contributor, ranking second on the team with 19 home runs while also leading the Brewers with a .282 batting average. Second baseman Brice Turang has been their top run producer, driving in 78 runs so far and consistently finding ways to come through in key spots. Milwaukee’s offense has been especially dangerous recently, averaging 5.2 runs in its last five games. With the bats clicking and the pitching staff coming off a dominant showing, the Brewers look like one of the hotter teams in baseball right now, which gives the Rangers plenty to be concerned about heading into Sunday afternoon’s matchup.

Texas Form & Recent Results

Texas comes into this matchup trying to snap a three-game losing streak, and the Rangers have also lost three of their last five games overall. One of those defeats came Friday night in Milwaukee against the Brewers, while the other two were against the White Sox in Chicago. In Friday’s 6-1 road loss to Milwaukee, catcher Danny Jansen provided one of the few offensive highlights for Texas, finishing 1-for-3 with a solo home run, one run scored, and one RBI. The Rangers managed just one home run in the game, while their pitching staff threw 99 strikes, but it still was not enough to slow down the Brewers’ lineup or keep the game within reach.

Offensively, Texas continues to rely heavily on its power bats. Designated hitter Joc Pederson and first baseman Jake Burger are tied for the team lead with 23 home runs apiece, giving the Rangers two major threats in the middle of the order. Left fielder Wyatt Langford sits behind them with 15 home runs so far this year, adding another source of pop to the lineup. Burger has also been the team’s top run producer, leading Texas with 76 RBI, while shortstop Ezequiel Duran owns the club’s best batting average at .272. The bigger concern for the Rangers has been on the mound, as they have given up an average of 6.4 runs in their last five games overall. If Texas wants to bounce back and keep Milwaukee from taking control again, the pitching staff will need to be much sharper from the opening inning.

Key Stats

• Texas’ Jake Burger this season: 23 HRs, 76 RBI, .236 AVG

Texas vs. Milwaukee Picks and Prediction

Milwaukee’s lineup has been among the more dangerous groups in baseball, and the Brewers have been swinging the bats with a lot of confidence lately. They showed that again Friday, putting together enough offense to beat Texas 6-1 and continue their strong play at the plate. The Rangers, meanwhile, have had a harder time keeping opponents off the board, and their pitching staff has not been as sharp in recent games. Texas will hand the ball to Kumar Rocker, who enters with a 5-10 record and a 4.41 ERA. Milwaukee counters with Dustin May, who is 6-8 with a 4.56 ERA this year. Final Score Prediction, Milwaukee Brewers win 4-2.
