Brewers vs. Rangers: Predictions, How to Watch for Free (9/10/25)

The Milwaukee Brewers (89–57) look to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Texas Rangers (76–70) this afternoon at Globe Life Field in Arlington.

Milwaukee still holds a comfortable 6.5-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central, despite dropping two straight. Both the Brewers and Cubs have gone 5–5 over their last 10, leaving the division race largely unchanged, even with Milwaukee playing .500 baseball.

The Rangers, meanwhile, are surging in both the AL West and Wild Card races. They sit just 1.5 games behind the Seattle Mariners for the third Wild Card spot and 2.5 games behind the Houston Astros for the division lead.

Houston has stumbled, dropping seven of its last 10, while Texas has gone 7–3 over the same stretch, making them one of the hottest teams in the American League.

Milwaukee turns to ace Freddy Peralta to halt the skid. Peralta enters at 16–5 with a 2.50 ERA and has been nothing short of dominant of late. Over his last seven starts, he’s 4–1 with a 1.46 ERA, and he hasn’t allowed a run in his last five outings — a total of 28 innings.

The Rangers hand the ball to Merrill Kelly, acquired from Arizona at the trade deadline. Kelly has been solid since joining Texas, posting a 2–1 record with a 2.98 ERA in seven starts.

Overall, he’s 11–7 with a 3.16 ERA this season between Arizona and Texas, and he’s coming off a strong start against Houston, where he held the Astros to one run over seven innings.

Prediction

Expect a pitcher’s duel, with the edge going to Milwaukee thanks to Peralta’s streak of near-perfect form.

Prediction: Brewers 4, Rangers 2
