Chicago is a team trying to find consistency within the rotation.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 They are looking for John Danks to step up and become a true #2 guy behind Mark Buehrle.\u00a0 The bullpen has thrown 7.2 innings this series and has only given up 2 ER’s.\u00a0 Danks went 7.2 innings in a matchup vs. Texas in 2008.\u00a0 The lefty seems to have a way of fooling the Texas batters in the past.\u00a0 Offensively they have been led by Pierzynski and Thome this series.\u00a0 They will look for Konerko to start driving in more runs as he did the week before against Seattle and Toronto.\u00a0 It appears Jermaine Dye will be out with a hand injury.<\/p>\n

Texas will be without slugger Josh Hamilton.\u00a0 They will look for Hank Blalock to replace the numbers offensively, which he did yesterday with 4 RBI’s.\u00a0 Matt Harrison only went 2.2 innings last year in his only matchup vs. Chicago.\u00a0 Harrison has given up at least 4 ER’s in every start this year.\u00a0 He also only has 9k’s while walking 12 batters.\u00a0 So while not expecting much from the starter Harrison let’s look at the pen.\u00a0 They have pitched 7.1 innings in the series and have given up 6 ER’s.\u00a0 This fact points towards a big problem for the Rangers.<\/p>\n
