The Rangers will be motivated to turn things around after a poor showing in the series opener (3-for-30 with 13 strikeouts). The second, third, and fourth batters went a combined 0-for-12 and struck out seven times. Jacob deGrom performs exceptionally well when pitching after a team loss, and his hard hit rate of 33% ranks in the 85th percentile. Jack Flaherty has a 3.79 ERA this season, but he has struggled in his last two starts, allowing eight earned runs and 14 hits over 10.2 innings. Flaherty has an average exit velocity of 90.1 MPH, which ranks in the 37th percentile. The Tigers have a record of 1-6 this season when he is on the mound.
