Toronto is going to have Bowden Francis on the mound, and he has to find a way to turn things around. Francis has gone just 2-6 with a 5.54 ERA this season, and he could get hit hard in this matchup.

Daulton Varsho is having a big season for the Blue Jays as he leads the team with eight home runs. Toronto didn't hit well in the series opener, and that needs to change in this game.

Nathan Eovaldi will start for the Rangers, and he is one of the best pitchers in the American League. Eovaldi has gone 4-3 with a 1.60 ERA, and he can completely shut down a lineup.

Wyatt Langford is leading the Rangers with 10 home runs, but they aren't a team with a ton of power. Look for Eovaldi to set the tone as the Rangers will even up this series.

Prediction: Texas Rangers 5, Toronto Blue Jays 4
