Unexpected Pitching Duel Set to Silence Royals and Rangers Offenses Tonight

The more I watch the Rangers over this year and last year, the more I feel like 2023 was a fluke. Look, it was a fluke in the best possible way. The team won the World Series, and their offense was dominant that year. Sometimes things just come together. Unfortunately, you can’t always have it work out from year to year. For whatever reason, teams seem to collectively hit or don’t. Pitching can be good one year and not the next. Consistency is really difficult and the Rangers were great one year, but have been consistently average since that point. Sure, injuries have been a factor, but everyone deals with them. The Rangers have been good at home this year, currently eight games over .500 and look to Shawn Armstrong to put that number to nine games over. Armstrong is 2-1 with a 2.90 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. This is over the course of just 31 innings, as he is a reliever, but it is still impressive work. This is going to be a bullpen game for the Rangers. Probably a good sign as the Rangers have the seventh-best bullpen in the league.
