Despite Texas not getting out to the start they envisioned this season, Jacob deGrom has been his usual dominant self, allowing a total of just 1 run over his past 2 starts. His metrics are among the best in baseball from top to bottom, so it will be up to the Rangers’ lineup to give him some support against Jack Flaherty, who has given up 9 runs over his past two outings and the Texas hitters 2-6 combined to go 0-18 last night.
Detroit has lost Flaherty’s last 5 starts and 6 of his 7 this season. We’ll look for that trend to continue on Saturday as we take the TEXAS RANGERS on Saturday evening.
