The Shocking Reason This Player Could Finally Break Gallen’s Winning Streak—Don’t Miss the Bet of the Year!
The Rangers committed to trying to make the playoffs by being buyers at the trade deadline, but they aren’t in a significantly better position than the Diamondbacks. They are third in their division (Arizona is fourth), but they are just one game above .500 and unlikely to make a run at the divisional crown. Their best hope is to make the playoffs via a Wild Card berth. As of today, they are 3.5 games back of the playoffs, still behind the Guardians, who are also chasing the Yankees. Trying to steal this game is Merrill Kelly, who came over from the Diamondbacks at the deadline. Overall, Kelly’s numbers are 9-7 with a 3.38 ERA, and a 1.08 WHIP. He has only made two starts for Texas, and they haven’t been outstanding. He has gone 10 innings and allowed six earned runs. One of those games was against the Phillies, a team that has hit him rather well in the past. The bigger concern to me than the runs he allowed in that game was that he issued five walks. As you might imagine, there is very little history of Diamondbacks hitters against Kelly. That does give him an edge even though the team should have a better scouting report and be more familiar with him than anyone.Â
