They are coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Houston Astros 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Tigers on Sunday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Taylor Hearn is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Dane Dunning will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 1-4 with a 4.04 ERA this season. His team lost 7 of their last 8 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 4 BB with 4 Ks on 2 hits in 6 IP against the Houston Astros. They scored 10 runs in their last series averaging just over 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 16 runs against them averaging just over 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Tigers are coming into this game with a 24-40 record overall and they are 16-22 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 6 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Chicago White Sox getting swept 3-0 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Rangers on Sunday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Rony García is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Drew Hutchison will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 0-4 with a 4.58 ERA this season. His team lost their last game this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 1 strikeout on 5 hits in 4 innings played against the Chicago White Sox. They scored 6 runs in their last series averaging 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 27 runs against them averaging 9 runs allowed per game.

 

The Rangers are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. The Rangers have been playing very well recently as they have started to win more games and have been getting their bats hot again scoring many runs in their games. They have already guaranteed a split with the Tigers here but the Rangers have been a very good team on the road this season and they should have no problem winning this series or even getting a sweep against the Tigers who have one of the worst records in the MLB right now and have fallen into a recent slump with all of the games they are losing. The Tigers also have Hutchinson starting in this game and he has only made 1 start this season as he is mainly a reliever but he allowed 2 runs in 4 innings in that start. He has had a few bad appearances as a reliever though and with the way the Rangers are hitting the ball right now, they will get to him here. The Rangers have Dunning starting here and he has been alright this season but he is coming off of a good start and will likely keep his team in this game against a Tigers lineup that has not been hitting much recently. The best bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

"I thought Marcus set the tone, because we were facing a really good pitcher in Skubal, and he showed we weren't going to expand the strike zone. The guys followed it with some nice swings and all of a sudden we're up three with Jon Gray on the mound. That's a nice feeling." - Chris Woodward after his team’s win against the Tigers on Friday.

 

 

"We're all tired of it, but I don't have a better answer. Usually I do, but I don't. We can't be this bad this long. That's obvious." - A.J. Hinch after his team’s loss against the Rangers on Friday.
