Texas Rangers
Dane Dunning comes into this game with a 1-2 record and an ERA of 3.92 in 8 starts this season. His last start was also against the Angels and he pitched 6 innings giving up 2 earned runs and striking out 6.
Dunning ranks in the 78th percentile in average exit velocity and the 44th percentile in hard hit percent. He is sporting the 3.92 ERA, but a 4.22 xERA which ranks him in the 36th percentile. Dunning mixes in 4 pitches, but the sinker is the pitch he throws the most at 41% followed by his slider at 30.3%. With his sinker, batters are hitting .194 with a .244 xBA.
As a team, the Rangers rank 26th in batting average against righties with a .221. On top of that, they rank 27th in OBP vs righties as a team as well. Corey Seager is leading the team with 8 homeruns; he has been a great addition so far for the Rangers. Marcus Semien has really struggled this season, hitting .182 with 0 homeruns and 9 RBIs.
Los Angeles Angels
Noah Syndergaard comes into this matchup with a 3-2 record and a 3.60 ERA in 6 starts this season. His last start was also against the Rangers were he pitched 0.2 innings giving up 4 hits and 4 earned runs. After coming off an April where he only gave up 4 earned runs in 3 starts, he has giving up 8 earned runs in his 3 starts so far in May.
Syndergaard has been good at limiting hard contact. He ranks in the 73rd percentile in average exit velocity and 62nd percentile in hard hit percent. He has used a solid pitch mix so far, leading with a changeup he throws 27% of the time. The only bad part of that, is batters are hitting .333 against his changeup, but that comes with a .298 xBA. So even using the expected batting average, hitting nearly .300 vs a pitch you use the most isn’t a recipe for success.
The Angels are ranked 11th in batting average vs righties this season hitting .244. They rank 8th in OBP vs righties sitting at .318. They will have the hitting advantage in this game going up against a righty. Also, they rank top 10 in batting average and OBP at home this season.
