The Texas pitching staff has a 3.46 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and a .229 opponent batting average this season. The Rangers offense has scored 145 runs with a .264 batting average and a .342 on base percentage. Adolis Garcia is batting .250 with seven home runs and 28 RBI’s for the Rangers.

Reds Preview

The Cincinnati Reds are 8-15 this season and they have lost six of their last seven games. Cincinnati won Game 1 in this series by a score of 7-6 on Monday night. The Cincinnati pitching staff has a 5.06 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, and a .280 opponent batting average. The Reds offense has scored 95 runs with a .232 batting average and a .317 on base percentage this season. TJ Friedl is batting .313 with two home runs and 10 RBI’s for the Reds. The projected starting pitcher for Cincinnati is Luke Weaver, who is 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP over 6.0 innings pitched this year. 

Trends

Texas is 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 6-14 in their last 20 game two’s of a series. The over is 4-1 in Texas’ last 5 Tuesday games. Cincinnati is 20-42 in their last 62 Tuesday games and 17-36 in their last 53 games. The under is 5-1 in Cincinnati’s last 6 games. 

Pick

Cincinnati was able to snap their losing streak in Game 1 of this series with a thrilling 7-6 win. Texas has played well recently and will have Martin Perez on the mound, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in all four starts this season. Luke Weaver will be starting for the Reds, who allowed four earned runs over 6.0 innings pitched in his only start so far this year. I like the Rangers behind another strong outing from Perez.
