Setting the scene: For those of you who don't mind laying chalk, we think that Yu Darvish and the Rangers offer good value in this matchup.
Colin McHugh: He's 9-10 with a 4.80 ERA. McHugh has been hit-or-miss all year and while he does come in off a decent effort vs. Oakland in his last start, note that he's just 4-6 with a 5.78 ERA on the road this season.
Darvish: He's 5-3 with a 3.01 ERA. Most recently he gave up three runs off six hits and two walks with nine K's over six frames in a victory over Seattle. Darvish has posted eight-straight quality outings and has posted a 62:11 K:BB ratio in that span. Note that he owns a 3.00 ERA at home.
The bottom line: Darvish has allowed just one run to Houston over 12 innings this year and looks to close the season strong: "I'll be satisfied when I put all zeros on the scoreboard," said the Japanese hurler. "Until then, I've still got work to do." Consider a second look at Texas this afternoon.
