Texas at Philadelphia

Texas returns the same run producers as last year. That's not good news on an offense that ranked 22nd in runs, 18th in homers, and 26th in on-base percentage. 36-year-old Nathan Eovaldi threw six innings in last year's opener, a 5-2 loss at home to Boston. The Rangers were 1-3 in his first four starts of 2025, losing all three by more than one run. Philadelphia won the National League East and returns a star-studded lineup that ranked eighth in runs scored, ninth in homers, and fourth in on-base percentage. Ace Cristopher Sanchez had a 2.50 ERA last year, when he was 6-0 at home with a 1.94 ERA. He faced Texas once in 2025, winning 9-1. Play Philadelphia on the run-line.
