The Matchup today is Feldman vs. Lilly in Surprise. Texas plays as the home team.
Both pitchers should get two innings of work today. I am not sure who else is going to get a nod for the hill, but Hamilton is batting third and Kinsler isn't starting today. Jones is batting cleanup. I don't have the time today like I normally do for this type of post, but Hamilton is batting with a hot hand and Feldman, well, I just like the way he tosses the ball. The Rangers will at worst walk away from the second inning in a tie, if not the lead. Holding the lead is a whole different issue. They have struggled thus far in the preseason holding down things.
Forecast: the impossible thing to do: predict how a preseason game is going to go down without so much as delving into statistics. Still, the Rangers are coming off a loss to Kansas City and have a 1-1 record, look for a rebound of sorts with a Ranger win that is close. Score: 5-3.
1 Random Thoughts:
they didn't quite have the lead (or a tie) after 2 innings. :-p
