Result: Win
Hard not to think that each of these teams won't score at least four runs apiece in a pitching matchup of Tyler Anderson vs. Jack Leiter.
Anderson has allowed 17 runs in 17 2/3 innings during his past four starts. He's permitted 27 hits and 13 walks during this span.
Leiter has been even worse.
If the Rangers were in contention they wouldn't be giving Leiter his baptism by fire. The rookie has made five big league starts. They haven't gone well. He has an 11.78 ERA and 2.13 WHIP. The Rangers' bullpen ranks 23rd in ERA.
