The pitching matchup favors Texas on Sunday and in this series in general. After all, it took a great outing by Stroman to give the Cubs the series-opening win, but this bullpen has struggled early on, posting a 4.57 ERA. Taillon was rocked in his opening start and does not have a great bullpen behind him to bail him out if he gets in trouble again.

Gray has all kinds of help. He looked solid in his opening start and he has the best bullpen in baseball through the first two weekends of the season. That gives Texas a huge advantage in winning this game and I think they bounce back defensively after having 5 ERRORS in Saturday's game.

Play the Texas Rangers this afternoon to avoid the sweep and get their 1st road win of the season.
