(977) Texas Rangers at (978) Washington Nationals

6:45pm EDT - Jun 6/2025

THE PLAY: Texas Rangers -117 P Corbin (LHP), M Soroka (RHP) Must Start

BELMONT STAKES - SARATOGA 14 races fill out both Friday and Saturday's cards at Saratoga for the with 14 graded stakes races leading up to the Belmont Stakes. Sean has full card selections up for both Friday and Saturday at Saratoga.

Patrick Corbin takes the mound for the Rangers who has not been great so far this season, but he has been consistent with a 3.71 ERA. Corbin does have success against this Nationals lineup with a combined 57 plate appearances and holding them to a .140 batting average. The Nationals have struggled against lefties this season with a .230 batting average against lefties. The Rangers have a solid bullpen who should not have issues keeping the Nationals off the board late in the game. Michael Soroka gets the start today coming off a 4 earned run effort and a low strikeout total of 3 against the Diamondbacks. The Rangers need a bounce back effort from their lineup and should be able to do so against a struggling Soroka who will turn the ball over to one of the worst bullpens across the MLB.

Consultant Bio

Working at a country club a mile east of Del Mar Racetrack, Sean was introduced to horse racing and his passion for the sport took off. The puzzle of going through past performances and replays appealed to Sean and spent his time after work listening to respected handicappers to learn as much as he could. In his first season playing the NHC Tour, he qualified for the Championship by placing 2nd in the LRF Cares contest after turning his initial $250 bankroll into $3,640.40. In this year's Xpressbet Kentucky Derby contest, Sean finished 6th by flipping the $2,000 bankroll into $15,681.85 while also taking home a 2024 Pegasus World Cup Betting Challenge entry valued at $6,000.
