Minus Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins, the Phillies are off to a slow start.

The Rangers should be improved this season. They are off to a fast start pounding the Phillies, 11-7 and 16-3, during the first two games of the series. The Rangers did this against Philadelphia's top two pitchers, Aaron Nola and Zach Wheeler.

Now the Rangers get to drop down in class to face Bailey Falter, while having Martin Perez go for them.

Perez was an underrated 12-8 with a 2.89 ERA last season. He was Texas' top pitcher last season. Perez is backed by an upgraded Texas bullpen, too.
