The Rangers host the Dodgers for game 2 of their 3 game series coming off a 6-2 victory in game one. For the Dodgers Ross Stripling will be taking the mound posting a 5.46 era on 3 wins and 1 loss. Stripling has a whip of 1.42 and has 24 strike outs on the season. Stripling is in the bottom 6% in exit velocity averaging 92.4 mph each hit so this is a good chance for the Rangers to have a good batting day even with the worst team batting average in the league at .208. For the Rangers Lance Lynn will be taking the mound with a 1.59 era and a whip of 0.86. Lance has 50 strike outs on 4 wins and 0 losses this season. Lynn is in the 56th percentile at exit velocity averaging 88 mph, which is a bit high but he makes up for it with strike outs. I think Ross Stripling is due for regression based off of how high his exit velocity speed is and the Rangers could secure a game 2 win here.
