This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Texas Rangers.
The Rangers smashed the Phillies 9-3 yesterday. While Martin Perez has struggled for the most part this year, he's still miles ahead of his counterpart with his form. All things considered, we feel this is a very fair price.
Nick Pivetta: He's 0-2 with a 6.14 ERA. He most recently was shelled for four runs off five hits over 4.2 innings in a loss to the Nats on Saturday. The rookie will only be in the line-up until Aaron Nola rejoins the rotation next week.
Perez: He's 1-5 with a 3.89 ERA. He most recently gave up two earned runs off seven hits while striking out three over six innings in an unfortunate no-decision against the Padres on Thursday. Perez has now posted three quality starts out of his last four trips to the hill.
The bottom line: Perez was 10-11 with a 4.39 ERA in 2016, but that included a very respectable 8-3, 3.24 ERA in front of the home town crowd. Note that the Phillies are a poor 6-15 (-5.6 units) on the road and a horrible 0-4 (-4.1 units) in all interleague contests, while Texas is 15-8 (+6.1 units) at home and 5-1 (+4 units) in all interleague matchups. Lay the price with confidence, play on the RANGERS.
