Texas Rangers (55-63) vs. Boston Red Sox (61-55)
The Texas Rangers, with their 238 batting average and a slugging percentage of 380, had a tough season trying to maintain steady offensive performance. In contrast to their competitors who are more run heavy, the team only scored 494 runs and hit 126 home runs. The current standings do not reflect that they have recently played high scoring games suggesting possible prospects for the same in today’s Yankees White Sox game today. Tyler Mahle leads a good pitching staff whose ERA stands at a respectable 4.26 though it has failed to hold down batters from other teams adequately.
In contrast, the Boston Red Sox appear to be more powerful offensively boasting .261 batting average and .443 slugging percentage respectively. They have scored 571 runs and hit 146 home runs which makes them clear leaders in this area of the game. Their solid pitching coupled with slightly better ERA (4.05) complements their powerful hitting lineup. Consistency is key for the Red Sox much like records from Royals and Twins face-off suggest which might make them formidable opponents especially when they play at home ground-Fenway Park.
Tyler Mahle (0-1 W-L, 1.80 ERA) vs. Brayan Bello (10-5 W-L, 5.16 ERA)
Tyler Mahle, despite his 0-1 season record and limited innings pitched, has shown potential with an ERA of 1.80. His style of pitching which is marked by accuracy and a lower WHIP of 1.20 allows the Reds to control many Red Sox batters if he continues this way. How can he combine his strengths so that they neutralize the hard-hitting Red Sox?
However, Brayan Bello’s record stands at 10-5 his high ERA of 5.16, which shows a susceptibility to runs in spite of wins being recorded. Within that range there are plenty of risks as well as rewards with a WHIP of 1.45 and109 strikeouts by Bello for the year. The number of times he struck out hitters was good but on the other hand conceding lots of home runs (18) is a reason for concern when playing against a homerun-happy Rangers’ lineup that could be looking to exploit any mistakes in pitching
