Rangers vs. Twins prediction and odds for Sunday, Aug. 27 (Texas gets the job done)

The Texas Rangers all of a sudden find themselves in a tie for first place in the AL West and it's not with the Houston Astros, but the Seattle Mariners who have become the hottest team in baseball.

Now, every game from here on our has become pivotal as the Rangers attempt to not only hold on to the top spot in the division, but a playoff berth is also not guaranteed for Texas. Luckily, I have good news. I think the Rangers are in a great spot to get the job done in their series finale against the Twins today.

Rangers vs. Twins prediction and pick

Jordan Montgomery gets the start for the Rangers this afternoon, which is good news for us Texas bettors. He has been a fantastic addition to the Rangers rotation, sporting a 1.73 ERA in four starts since joining the team. He's also coming off a performance where he pitched 8.0 scoreless innings.

The same can't be said for Bailey Ober, who has struggled over the past month for the Twins, racking up a 5.25 ERA over his last seven starts.

The Rangers are desperate for a win today and I think the pitching matchup gives them the advantage today.

Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
