Rangers starter Taylor Hearn is coming off somewhat of a tough-luck outing in which his 3.60 ERA masks a 2.52 FIP (like ERA, but factors out fielding). He won't need much luck tonight because he is a lefty and the Royals can't hit lefties. Specifically, Kansas City ranks 24th in slugging .308 against Hearn's three favorite pitches from lefties.
KC starter Jon Heasley will keep pace with Hearn. Heasley's performances this year have hinged on matchup factors. He performed poorly against the teams that rank above-average against his pitches. But he shut down a Tigers squad that doesn't hit his pitches well. The Rangers rank 27th in slugging against his pitches from righties.
