Starting Pitchers
It is always imperative to take a look at the day’s starters before making your MLB predictions.
Rangers Hope To Get Dominating Series Lead Behind Heaney

Looking at his MLB player stats, he is 0-0 with a 6.00 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and has one strikeout in six innings this postseason. He will likely serve in an opener’s role on Tuesday.

In 35 regular season MLB games, he went 2-2 with a 4.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and he had 28 strikeouts in 39 innings.
