Could This Hard-Throwing Righty Shatter Strikeout Records Tonight?

We ended up hitting our first wash out of the season. I’ve had one before, but it was before the play was published so I won’t count that. The game takes place today, and has the same pitchers, so if you want to bet it, go for it. I feel the same way about the game as I did yesterday. Today, we have a new game, this time between the Rangers and Red Sox that I want to lock something in on.

The Rangers are hovering around that .500 mark, where they have lived the majority of this young season. Maybe I should rephrase that – they started the season strong at home, but lost the majority of that momentum as soon as they headed out to the road and had to don their visiting gray uniforms. They are just 5-10 on the road, but should be able to turn that around as well. And, if you look at their last home stand, they might actually be looking forward to taking the road clubhouse. They lost four of their past five games and are not playing very well. Their offense was non-existent in the four losses. They scored a combined three runs in the four losses. They did score eight in their most recent win over the Mariners. The good news for them is that they get their Ace, Nathan Eovaldi to start this series against the Red Sox. Eovaldi, a former Boston team member, should be familiar with the territory. He has been great this season with a 2-2 record, 2.11 ERA, and a 0.77 WHIP, best in the league. He has three consecutive quality starts and five of his seven overall. He did face the Red Sox to start the season allowing two earned runs on three hits over six innings while striking out nine hitters. Overall, Red Sox hitters have been pretty good against him, hitting .271 over 85 at-bats.
