Twins vs. Rangers Prediction and Odds for Sunday, July 10 (Will Rangers Complete Sweep?)
By Joe Summers
The 39-43 Texas Rangers gun for a sweep of the 47-40 Minnesota Twins this afternoon at 2:35 PM EST.
Texas has lost nine straight starts by Dane Dunning, but the 27-year-old righty hopes to get back in the win column today. He's got a 2.83 ERA at home, throwing four consecutive quality starts at Globe Life Park.
Minnesota turns to Dylan Bundy, who has a 1.88 ERA in his last four starts. Bundy has a 5.89 ERA on the road though and has struggled to maintain consistency.
Can Bundy find that consistency to salvage a win for Minnesota in the series? Or will Texas finally pick up a victory behind Dunning?
To answer those questions, let's first check out the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook:

Twins vs Rangers Prediction and Pick
Dane Dunning is knocking on the door for a win, and today's matchup against Dylan Bundy and the Twins represents a perfect opportunity to finally get over the hump.
The biggest problem for Dunning has been run support, as the Rangers' lineup can't seem to muster runs when the 27-year-old righty is on the mound. Thus, his 2.83 home ERA has been for naught. But never fear, Dane! Bundy is a delightful opponent for struggling lineups and I expect Texas to rack up some runs in this one.
Bundy is getting hammered on the road, compiling a 5.89 ERA. Minnesota is 2-9 in his last 11 starts as he ranks in only the 20th percentile in barrel percentage and 26th in average exit velocity.
With five losses in their last seven as road underdogs thanks to a disastrous bullpen, the Twins aren't good enough to overcome Bundy's deficiencies. Trust in Dunning to finally get that elusive victory and give the Rangers a sweep.
Pick: Rangers (-113)
