ANDREW’S FREE PICK

I’ll stay with the Rangers in this one. Perez has won his last pair of starts, and he’s got good numbers in those. Over 14.0 combined innings, Perez has just four earned on 13 hits and two walks total. He should be able to get Texas in to a nice position here. On Monday the Rangers did a pretty solid job offensively with the two big innings. Seven different players had hits, and the pitching backed up the batters on the other side. I like the Rangers to keep it going in game two.
