The 2019 Texas Rangers can be known as the streak stoppers so far. When they play a team that is winning, they do well. When they play a team that’s losing, they lose two out of three or get swept. We can all hope that they only play teams that are on a winning streak for the rest of the season.
Seattle comes in having lost nine of their last twelve, while the Rangers were swept by the struggling Athletics. Odds say that the Rangers will lose three out of four to the M’s. Seems like this would be a good time to break that streak. Tonight Taylor Hearn makes his debut with the Rangers. So far in 2019 Hearn is 1-3 with a 4.05 ERA. He may be a little amped up for his first start, as the Rangers had not planned on bringing him up this early. The rest of the weekend in Shelby Miller, Mike Minor and Lance Lynn.
If the Rangers are going to turn around the streaky play they need Miller, Minor and Lynn to have really good games. The Rangers have the offense to beat almost anyone. Pitching needs to catch up, or at least keep them in games. If that is the case, they should be able to start a new streak where they start taking series from everyone!
