The odds prior to game 1 of Cubs vs. Rangers at Wrigley Field closed around -120 for Chicago, and Steele showed his most dominant side, leaving the Rangers, who only had 3 hits in the game and struck out 9 times in the entire game, with no chance of any kind.

Tucker continues to be productive with his new team. On Monday, batting second, he went 2-for-5 with an RBI, but it was Ian Happ who drove in the most runs, 3 runs, despite batting 1-for-5.

April is seeing some of the coldest MLB games in recent decades. The thermometer read 34 degrees, the Cubs' coldest home game since 2011, and similar conditions are expected on Tuesday.

Tuesday's matchup will be a veterans' duel between Patrick Corbin and Taillon for the Cubs. Corbin will play in a non-Nationals uniform and will be given his first start in 2025, after posting a 5.62 ERA in 174.2 IP last season.

Taillon had a better second start in Sacramento than his first in the Arizona desert, but he'll return to Wrigley Field after posting a 3.27 ERA in 2024, his best since 2018 with the Pirates.

Our Texas Rangers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

The Cubs are giving their starters plenty of offensive support, keeping them in the game as long as possible, postponing the help of a bullpen that has caused the Cubs to lose multiple games in 2024 and now in 2025. Monday's game was a good bounce-back victory after Turner's error at first base prevented them from sweeping the Padres. They seem to have the advantage in the starting pitching duel, and it seems that the cold in the windy city has dampened the Rangers' bats, at least in Game 1. Our prediction for Rangers vs Cubs is: Cubs -1.

Prediction:

 

Cubs -1.
