Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
Kyle Tucker is swinging a hot bat right now with 2+ hits in four of his last six games and I think that continues here.
Tucker will see Cody Bradford who ranked in the second percentile last season in barrel percentage.
Tucker went 2 for 4 with a home run in three games against Bradford last season including one game with five total bases. Bradford allowed a .286 AVG against lefties last season.
Tucker crushed lefties last season and performed much better on the Road.
- against lefties: .300 AVG/.267 ISO
- road games: .315 AVG/.261 ISO
I'm expecting 5+ plate appearances for Tucker tonight which will give him plenty of opportunities to climb this ladder!
