I’m sort of jumping in front of a streak with the Rangers winners of three consecutive games, but they had lost five of six before that, so I’m not certain that a couple of wins over the slumping Jays and the opener over White Sox signal them breaking out. The Texas starter Nathan Eovaldi has been very good all season with a 64% QS number and brings a 6-1 road W/L record with a 1.98 ERA. That said, he has poor historical numbers against this lineup with the roster hitting .326 with .426 OBP albeit in a relatively small sample size of 46 at-bats. Chisox starter Dylan Cease, also in limited at-bats (43) has held the Rangers to a .116 batting average. He is probably in his best form of the season after a rough start to the season.
