Price had a terrible start to the season, but rebounded well. However, in his career facing the Rangers in Texas he has an ERA over 10.00.
Price got the win in his last start, which snapped a 5 game span where he did not get a win.
Perez has an ERA of 3.48 in the month of September and in his last win he snapped a 3 game winless streak.
Tampa Bay ranks 12th in both runs and team batting average and 5th in on base percentage.
Texas also has a solid offense ranking 8th in runs and 7th in team batting average.
In winning their last 7 games of the season the Rangers’ pitching was stellar only giving up more that 4 runs in a game 1 time.
In some betting trends for this AL Wild card play-in game the Rays are 7-3 in their last 10 road games, 33-14 in Price’s last 47 starts as a road favorite, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.
The Rangers are 7-0 in their last 7 home games, 8-3 in Perez’s last 11 starts, and they have an Over record of 4-0-1 in their last 5 games.
The Rays are 2-5 in Price’s last 7 starts against the Rangers.
Jason’s Pick: Even though Price has not pitched well in Texas I think the veteran will have a better outing than Perez the young pitcher and the Rays will win this game.
