Texas - Philadelphia (Total runs 8.5) 2o matches for the two teams this year in interleague play, between Phillies (national league) and Texas Rangers (American league).
An impressive match at the premiere for the two teams, with hot bats for both the huge pitching problems of both yesterday and the starters and especially the bullpen that will play a role today. In total, 31 hits both of them and 4 home runs in yesterday's match with Phillies winning 14-10, and yesterday's 8 runs.
Experienced Burnett today in the mound for Phillies who was close to retirement but lured him with a one-year contract by Phillies. 10-11 and 3.30 last year's numbers, while in last year's Texas match, he managed to win despite the 5 runs he allowed and the 6 hits in 6 innings. 5 runs had allowed 2010 to the Rangers to 6 inning again with the same number of hits. The appearance of bullpen yesterday was bad for the Phillies at 4 work innings closed the match with 4.50 era.
A problem situation for Rangers in pitching. Perez starts the game today with record 11-10 last year and was at 4.05. Talent has Perez, but has also been unstable, closed last season 1-3, and in the preseason went 0-2 with era 6.23, first time he will see Phillies today in his career with 17 home matches 13 as starter at 4 -6 with era 3.92. Mantra the bullpen of Texas yesterday at 5 work innings with era 12.60!
Well, hitting stats for both yesterday against problematic pitching, with both teams moving over .400 to the overall batting percentage.
As far as bullpen is concerned, I do not expect to change many things today, not to move too much, but the improvement will take time. None of the two current pitchers are particularly dominant and have shown in the recent past that they allow runs. This data with the good hitting of the two teams yesterday seems to me that it can still lead the score relatively high. With a limit on 8.5 runs over over pays 1.91 to Sportingbet.
