Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
- Kumar Rocker: Kumar Rocker’s ERA sits at a lofty 5.66 for the season. But he had a solid start in his last outing and will look to build on that for the Rangers in this game.
- Grant Holmes: Braves starter Grant Holmes has a superior ERA than Rocker at 3.81. But he has a poor 4-9 record and has struggled on the road and with getting run support from his team.
Bullpen usage
The Rangers bullpen remains efficient at home after helping to nail down an 8-3 win yesterday. The Braves relievers have underperformed this year. Expect Texas to lean on strong relievers late to preserve leads like they did in last night’s series opener.
Recent team streaks
The Rangers have won four straight games. Atlanta has dropped three games in a row. During their recent winning streak, the Rangers moved into second place in the American League in run differential. They trail only the New York Yankees in that regard.

Final Thoughts
Backing Kumar Rocker to pitch well enough for his team to win might be the very definition of gambling. But I do think that the Rangers have more consistent talent around their starting pitcher in this game. Even if Rocker isn’t great, I think the Rangers bullpen will do moer than enough to make up for it and Texas should come away with a win in a close game to improve their already strong record at home.
