Texas Set to Dethrone Angels in Shocking Showdown—What This Means for the Season
The Rangers are still under .500, but really haven’t had a terrible season. There are a lot of middle-of-the-pack teams that we see in the league this year, and Texas is no exception. There are a lot of clubs that have been hovering around that mid-water mark, and as we come up to the trade deadline at the end of the month, I think it will be interesting to see who is a buyer and who is a seller. I’d expect Texas to hold onto their assets, but there are a lot of teams that would be interested in pieces if they were to become available. One guy that should be on everyone’s wish list if he were to become available would be tonight’s starter, Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi has been phenomenal this season with a 5-3 record and a 1.75 ERA. He also sports a 0.85 WHIP, these numbers are better than Tarik Skubal and other big name guys, but he’s only thrown 77.1 innings. He has only made two starts since May 27th. The first one saw him go just three innings and allow three earned runs. The next was much better, seeing him allow no runs on two hits in five innings. Eovaldi has held the Angels hitters to just 17 hits in 79 at-bats in his career.Â
