Yovani Gallardo was a high strikeout solid pitcher for the Brewers during his prime. However, Gallardo is well past his prime now, barely hanging on. The Rangers are the sixth team he is pitching for in the last five years.
Gallardo had a 5.42 ERA in 2016. His ERA was 5.72 last year and it is 7.18 this season. The pattern clearly is there. Father time has caught up with him.
The Rangers can't bail Gallardo out with their terrible bullpen either. Houston ranks in the top five in runs and batting average. The Astros have a hot Dallas Keuchel going for them, too.
Keuchel is 4-0 with a 1.30 ERA in his last four starts spanning 27 2/3 innings. He is 5-0 with a 2.00 ERA during his last seven starts. Houston has dominated at home with Keuchel going 40-18 during his last 58 starts at Minute Maid Park.
