Rangers vs. Dodgers Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Sunday, April 12
For the last game of the series, Rangers SP Jacob deGrom (2.61 xFIP across 2 starts and 9.2 IP in 2026) and Dodgers SP Roki Sasaki (4.37 xFIP across 2 starts and 9.0 IP in 2026) will square off on the mound.
The 2025 season was the first time deGrom made 30+ starts since 2019. We saw the return of his Cy Young form, finishing with 3.36 xERA and 3.4 WAR. deGrom is showing, when healthy, he’s still one of the top hurlers in the game, with his 35.1% strikeout rate (92nd percentile), per Baseball Savant.
The Rangers are showing their power early in the season, leading the league with a 47.0% hard-hit rate and ranking second with a 91.0 average exit velocity.
There was a lot of hype when the Dodgers brought in Sasaki, but he’s been underwhelming in his MLB career. His last start was a disaster, allowing 6 earned runs against the Nationals.
Sasaki thankfully has one of the top lineups in the league, as the Dodgers lead the league in xBA (.285) and xSLG (.378), via FanGraphs.
