The Texas Rangers (37-40) travel to South Florida for the start of a three-game interleague series against the Miami Marlins (40-38) on Monday night. The Marlins carry a four-game winning streak into the series and will look to stay in the win column.
Not only have the Marlins won four straight games, but they are also coming off a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants and have won 14 of their last 18 contests. While this young Miami team sits in third place in the NL East, it is just 0.5 games behind the Chicago Cubs for a National League Wild Card spot.
The Rangers also sit third in their division and remain firmly in the American League Wild Card race, trailing Toronto by just one game. While Texas hasn’t enjoyed the same recent success as Miami, it is coming off a 4-3 victory over San Diego on Sunday to secure a series win.
The Rangers are expected to use left-hander Tyler Alexander as an opener Monday night in what will be his 32nd appearance and just his second start of the season. He will be opposed by Marlins right-hander Tyler Phillips, who is looking to bounce back after a rough outing against Philadelphia.

Rangers vs. Marlins Predictions
Below is a featured pick from the Stats Hub at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook, where baseball betting insights and trends are available for every MLB game:
Rangers vs. Marlins Best Bet: Jake Burger Over 0.5 Hits
Jake Burger is one of several Rangers hitters entering Monday night’s series opener on a hot streak. Burger has recorded a hit in eight consecutive games, including a two-hit performance against San Diego on Sunday. He has collected at least one hit in 12 of his last 13 games while batting .378 during that span.
Tyler Phillips was enjoying a strong season with a 1.86 ERA between the rotation and bullpen before his most recent start against Philadelphia. In that outing, he allowed six hits and eight earned runs, including three home runs, across four innings, causing his ERA to jump to 3.10.
Right-handed hitters are batting just .220 against Phillips this season, but Burger is swinging one of the hottest bats in baseball right now and the former Marlin remains a strong candidate to keep his streak alive.
