Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers are in need of relief as they head into Philadelphia following a tough series with the Los Angeles Angels, where they lost two out of three games at home, bringing their season record to 24-24. Despite a strong start from Mike Lorenzen, the Rangers fell to the Angels 4-1 on Sunday. Looking ahead, they will rely on Jon Gray, one of their few healthy starting pitchers, to help turn things around on Tuesday night. Gray has performed well this season, with a 2-1 record and an ERA of 2.08. The Rangers will be without several key players due to injuries, including Adolis Garcis, Cody Bradford, Josh Jung, Max Scherzer, and Dane Dunning. Currently ranked 14th in the league, the Rangers excel offensively but struggle defensively, with an average of 4.66 runs scored per game and 4.47 runs allowed.
