The Texas Rangers are a mediocre team, as hard and painful as it to admit due to the fact that they’re the two-time defending American League West champions. Overall, the team is quite a mess, but the biggest woe is pitching.
This season, at least four starting pitchers found themselves on the disabled list, one of them being Cole Hamels, who missed eight weeks due a strained right oblique muscle. Yu Darvish, who’s in his contract year, has done a good job of staying healthy, however, he’s not having the season fans were hoping he would have. Darvish leads the rotation in wins, however he’s 6-8 and on a four-game losing streak and Texas is 1-8 in Yu’s last nine starts.
