Today’s matchup is between the Texas Rangers (22-35) and the Colorado Rockies(22-34). The Rangers have won 0 of their last 5 games & the Rockies have won 2 of their last 5 games.
The Rangers are starting Mike Foltynewicz (RHP), on the mound who is 1-5 on the season pitching a 4.31 ERA, 5.08 FIP, .346 wOBA, K% of 16.9%, BB% of 6.1%, 91.0 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.29 WHIP in 62.2 innings pitched.
The Rockies are starting Jon Gray (RHP), who is 4-5 on the season with a 3.71 ERA, 4.10 FIP, .292 wOBA, K% of 19.5%, BB% of 9.7%, 88.2 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.24 WHIP in 60.2 innings pitched.
The Ranger are the 16th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Rockies are 25th.
On the hitting side, the Rangers have a .297 wOBA and a .300 OBP. The Rockies have a .297 wOBA and a .303 OBP. The Rangers have 64 HRs this season while the Rockies have 49 HRs.
This is a matchup with 2 subpar starting pitchers. Hitting wise the Rangers and Rockies are almost identical with the exception of the Rangers having more HR power. Not a game I'll be betting but I lean towards the Rangers in this matchup.
