The Texas Rangers and the Washington Nationals will play the rubber game of their 3-game set today in DC. The Rangers lost yesterday’s matchup, 8-3, but will bounce back today when they send their ace and one of the best in the business, Dane Dunning, to the hill. Dunning has been delivering all year. He is 8-1 with a 2.61 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. The Nats are expected to counter with lefty Patrick Corbin and he has been just the opposite. Corbin is 5-10 with a 5.13 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP. In his last turn against the Reds, Corbin was scorched for 6 runs on 10 hits resulting in an 8-4 loss and that doesn’t bode well against a Rangers team that scores more runs than any other club in the Majors.
