Game Preview
Today the Philadelphia Phillies meet the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field to start their two-game interleague series. Right now, the Phillies are one of the hottest teams in the MLB as they have won 15 out of their last 18 games, while also keeping a 7-1 record on the road. They’ve also won their past 5 series openers and also their last 4 interleague games.
On the other hand we have the Texas Rangers, a team that has been struggling a lot to score wins while playing at home. The Rangers have won only 2 of its past 8 games at Globe Life Field, while winning just once in the past 5 tries against winning teams. But there are a few important things to consider that make the Rangers the favorite team in this specific matchup.
First of all, the Texas Rangers lead the season series 2-0, and for today’s game, they’ll be using Martin Perez who is their most consistent pitcher. The Phillies are 1-4 in the past 5 interleague road games against a lefty, which means that they won’t have an easy game today. Talking about Martin Perez, he’ll be making his 14th start of the season for the Texas Rangers. Perez was last seen on the mound Thursday against the Detroit Tigers, when he allowed 1 run on 8 hits while striking out 5 across 7 innings.
The Philadelphia Phillies will send out Kyle Gibson as their starting pitcher, who is making his 14th start of the season. He is holding a 4-2 record with a 4.04 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP over 71.1 innings pitched. In his last appearance, he didn’t factor into the decision as he allowed 1 run on 7 hits over 8 innings against the Miami Marlins. Gibson hasn’t looked that great so far, though this season has been better for him than others in the past.
