Cincinnati at Texas

April 4, 2026
img7:05 PM Eastern

The Texas Rangers and the Cincinnati Reds each come into this game at 4-3 to open the season. It is easy to see who has been the better team, as the Rangers have a +3 run differential, and the Reds are at -7 despite the winning record. Kumar Rocker will get the ball for the Rangers, and he has been great at home. The Rangers have a team record of 6-0 since 2025 when he took the ball. Rhett Lowder doesn't have much major league experience, and he has faced 4 teams with winning records, going 1-3 against them. Rocker has been too good at home to ignore here. Make the play on Texas.

1 unit on Texas -135 (moneyline) (risk 1 to return 1.74)
