MLB - 959 Texas Rangers @ 960 New York Yankees
(Starting Pitchers: Y. Darvish vs H. Kuroda)
The Yankees are currently the worst hitting team in the league with .0571 OPS over the last two weeks! They will now face Texas, who is coming from a road sweep at St Louis, where they impressed especially last Sunday night against Adam Wainwright. They have won their last 5 games, while the Yankees are struggling and on damage control. The Rangers will start Yu Darvish, who had 6 days of rest prior to this game. He had two starts this season with +6 days of rest and his stats were incredible: .080 BA, .232 OPS and 0.00 ERA! With him being extra rested, I expect him to completely dominate the struggling Yankees' lineup. The NY team is just #24 on K% with 22% and 7.3% BB%, so Darvish should really cruise in here.
The Yankees are starting Hiroki Kuroda, who had a win last Wednesday against the Dodgers, where he allowed two runs on 6.2 innings. He allowed just two, two and four runs on his last three outings, while his numbers against RH batters are phenomenal with 2.98 FIP and 3.45 xFIP! However, Texas' lineup for tonight has been released and its batting order is weird:
1. Ian Kinsler (R) 2B
2. Elvis Andrus (R) SS
3. Nelson Cruz (R) RF
4. Adrian Beltre (R) 3B
5. A.J. Pierzynski (L) C
6. Lance Berkman (S) DH
7. Mitch Moreland (L) 1B
8. David Murphy (L) LF
9. Leonys Martin (L) CF
Four righties in a row and then, everybody hitting on the left side! I believe the Rangers will be able to cause some problems to Kuroda here and there, something that should be good enough for them to pick up the win in here, as Darvish is very likely to dominate the Yankees on a great spot for him.
