The Texas Rangers and the Toronto Blue Jays will open a 3-game set this afternoon in Arlington. Texas has played well at Globe Life Field with a record of 17-10 and will have their ace on the hill, two-time Cy Young winner Jacob DeGrom. DeGrom is back to doing what he does best and that is deliver. He is 4-1 with a 2.33 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP. The Jays will counter with Kevin Gausman, who has been inconsistent with a record of 4-4 and a 4.03 ERA but he does have an excellent 0.97 WHIP. Toronto was just swept by the Tampa Bay Rays and were outscored 19-2 over the three games. The Jays are just 9-15 on the road and do not score runs which doesn’t bode well for Toronto when you have a flamethrower like DeGrom on the bump.
