The Texas Rangers will take on the Cleveland Guardians in the final game of the series at home on Sunday (September 25) afternoon. The Guardians have already clinched the series 2-0.
The Guardians defeated the Rangers 4-2 to win the series away from home, taking their record to 85-67. They are nine games ahead of the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central and are increasingly looking to clinch the division soon enough. They are in red-hot form, possessing a winning streak of six games, and their batting average couldn't be better.
The Rangers have already been eliminated from their division and have no conceivable chance of making it to the playoffs. They were a team that looked promising at the start of the season but somehow lost track and became inconsistent as a unit. They will just look for a consolation win today.
The Rangers will start Cole Ragans on the mound for the final game of the series. He is 0-2 this season with a 1.57 WHIP. This will be his eighth start of the season, and his records show that he has had his fair share of struggles on the mound. He will look to impress his bullpen coach and hopes to register a morale-boosting win for his team.
The Guardians will start Aaron Civale on the mound. He is 2-6 this season with a 1.29 WHIP. This will be his 18th start of the season. He has registered two wins and zero losses in his last five starts on the mound. He is trying to perform a bit better for his team and will look to get a win against a struggling unit today.
