Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers have been on a hot streak, winning five of their last six games. After sweeping the Cleveland Guardians, they took two out of three against the Los Angeles Angels, including a dominant 20-3 win last Wednesday. Unfortunately, the team will be without Corey Seager, who is out with appendicitis. Despite this setback, Merrill Kelly is set to start on Saturday night, carrying an impressive record with a 3.20 ERA in 2025. Acquired at the trade deadline, Kelly has been a solid addition to the Rangers' pitching rotation, delivering a memorable seven scoreless innings in their last game.
