Teams — San Francisco carries a .724 OPS and 475 runs scored, slightly ahead of Texas in both categories. The Giants are hitting .252 as a team, and their pitching staff has a 4.36 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP. They are 5-5 over their last 10 games, which suggests fairly neutral recent form. Texas has a .718 OPS, 466 runs scored, and a .244 team average. The Rangers’ staff owns a 4.34 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, giving them a small edge in run prevention efficiency by WHIP. Their recent form is weaker at 3-7 over the last 10, which may matter for bettors weighing current momentum against season-long numbers.
