Episode Details

Texas Rangers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks by Tony T.

Rocker leads the comparison in every requested category, though the gaps are modest in several areas. He has struck out more hitters, walked fewer, generated more ground balls and allowed fewer home runs per nine. Kelly's 5.06 ERA and 1.47 WHIP reflect greater traffic, while his 15.4% strikeout rate places more pressure on the defense. Neither starter owns an elite run-prevention line entering the series opener.
