These teams played a pitchers' duel yesterday and they just might get up to another today. Mitchell Parker has been surprisingly effective this season, with the Nationals winning all three of his starts, and he has the best xERA of anyone pitching today. While the Ranges have the better offense in this game, the Nats have been better against righties (.694 OPS) than the Rangers have against lefties (.682 OPS), so if these pitchers continue at their established levels than the Nats have a good chance of keeping this game close and potentially winning. My favorite play here is the F5 run line to take advantage of the pitching matchups.
Still not buying Mitchell Parker. Maybe we will be wrong again but his ERA belies a lot of issues. He can't break 92, his lacks a true offpseed pitch and he gets no swing and miss. He catches a lot of barrels (33rd %) and is bottom 36% in hard hit rate and some of these Rangers bats will break out. Eovaldi can shove for the Rangers and is 7-3 career at Globe Life Park with a 3.22 ERA and 1.086 WHIP
