Rookie Chase Silseth gets his seventh career start for Los Angeles and will look to complete at least five innings for the second time in his MLB career, allowing at least three runs in four of his last five starts. He has a 5.87 ERA on the season, and opponents are hitting .315 off of him at home.
The Rangers are 26th in bullpen ERA since July 3, with Dennis Santana and Garrett Richards both posting ERAs over 9.00 the past 30 days. The Angels are 20th in bullpen ERA in the same span.
The Rangers are third in the American League in home runs per game on the road. They also average more runs score per game on the road than at home, plating 4.4 runs per game at home versus 4.6 on the road.
