The Texas Rangers made a late comeback for a second straight day when they defeated the Colorado Rockies 7-5 yesterday. The ball is carrying well in the Texas heat, and I expect to see plenty of runs in tonight's game as well.
Martin Perez (7-8, 4.33) takes the ball for Texas. He's 0-4 with an abysmal 7.07 ERA in his last six starts, and he gave up five runs in seven innings of a 5-0 loss at Houston his last time out. Only a handful of Rockies have any experience against the left-hander, but those have hit him well. We can also note that the over is 4-1 in the Rockies last five interleague road games vs. a left-handed starter.
The Rockies will turn to another left-hander in Jorge De La Rosa (7-7, 5.24 ERA). He's 2-0 with a 5.00 ERA in three career starts versus Texas. De La Rosa has pitched well of late, coming off three consecutive starts, but he's struggled somewhat with his command surrendering a total of eight walks during that stretch. It might not matter how good De La Rosa pitches anyway as Colorado's bullpen is in terrible shape right now, surrendering runs non-stop.
