The Philadelphia Phillies and the Texas Rangers meet in MLB action from Globe Life Field on Tuesday night.

The Philadelphia Phillies will look to rebound after falling short in their series finale against Washington with a 9-3 loss last time out. Bryce Harper leads the Phillies with 75 hits including 21 doubles, 15 home runs and 48 RBIs while Nick Castellanos has 65 hits with 17 doubles and 36 RBIs. Kyle Schwarber also has 18 home runs and 37 RBIs as well while Alec Bohm’s posting a .252 batting average so far this season. Kyle Gibson will start here and is 4-2 with a 4.04 ERA and 62 strikeouts this season.

The Texas Rangers will try to bounce back after settling for a series split with the Tigers after a 7-3 loss to Detroit last time out. Nate Lowe has 63 hits and a .274 batting average with 9 doubles while Adolis Garcia has 13 home runs and a team-high 45 RBIs. Corey Seager also has 58 hits, 15 homers and 31 RBIs and Brad Miller has 25 RBIs while Marcus Semien has 10 doubles and the aforementioned Garcia has 11 doubles as well on the year. Martin Perez will get the start in this one and is 4-2 with a 2.10 ERA and 65 strikeouts this season.

Philadelphia is 7-1 in their last 8 road games and 15-3 in their last 18 games overall while the over is 8-1-1 in their last 10 games as a road underdog. Texas is 2-6 in their last 8 home games and 19-7 in their last 26 games against the NL East while the under is 10-2-1 in their last 13 games against a team with a winning record.

I get why you’d look at the Phillies here, as they’ve been playing some solid ball as of late. However, the Rangers haven’t been all that bad as while they had issues closing out their series against Detroit, they’ve had solid battles and for whatever reason, find a way to win games with Martin Perez pitching. I’ll side with the Rangers to get the job done in this one.
