The Miami Marlins head to the Lone Star State to take on the Texas Rangers in a three-game series. Jesus Luzardo is expected to get the start for the Marlins. He is 8-5 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.184 WHIP. Over his last three starts, he has posted a 4.02 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP without a decision in 15.2 innings. In five appearances against the Rangers, he is 0-1 with a 2.30 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. Texas won their second straight after dropping seven of their previous nine as they pummeled the White swept their series against the White Sox and are riding the momentum coming into this game. Newly acquired Jordan Montgomery will get the start for the Rangers. He is 6-9 this season with a 3.42 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. He is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. He has posted a 1.64 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP in two starts against the Marlins in his career. The Marlins are just 5-13 since the break. Luzarda has not made it through the fifth inning in two of his last three starts. Montgomery did not get a lot of run support in St. Louis but that should change with the best offense in baseball behind him in Texas. The Rangers are tough at home and I like them to get the win in this one.
