Know thine enemy: Lone Star Ball

Zebby Matthews gets the start tonight for the Twins, and he’s hoping to not give up 7 earned runs as he’s done in 2 of his last 3 starts. If he can avoid the long ball I think he stands a pretty good chance, and he should be helped by the fact that the Rangers don’t hit many home runs (ranked 22nd in MLB).

The Rangers will counter with RHP Kumar Rocker, their 3rd overall

draft pick from 2022. He features a slider, sinker, 4-seam, a cutter, and a change-up. Expect to see primarily sliders and sinkers from Rocker, and because of that, lots of ground balls.
