Rangers are keeping it close. But the important thing is that they are winning. 8-9 going into this game, the Rangers are winning despite some horrible numbers. What numbers, you ask? Well, Chris "Crush" Davis leads the majors in striking out. The Rangers have one of the highest team ERA's currently with a 5.95 ERA. That puts the third from the bottom. The Rangers do have the most homeruns as a team, leading the way with 35, six more than second place. Want to hear a surprise? The Rangers are third in the majors in stolen bases. The Rangers are one of five teams who have yet to strikeout 100 batters. They also walk a lot of batters, putting them at a tie for sixth worse in that catagory.
McCarthy is the most consistent among our starters. Millwood would have to be right there neck and neck with McCarthy. Bergesen has a 1-0 record with a 1.59 ERA, whereas McCarthy has a 4.76 ERA and a 2-0 record. Bergesen made his first ML start against the White Sox on 4/21.
Forecast: The Rangers are hot... in a weird sort of way. One run victories are still victories. I like the Rangers in this one, thanks to McCarthy. I'm just not going to go against McCarthy right now. Rangers win this one, 4-2.Home Plate
