Texas lost last night, but now the AL West is on the line and this team is 38-13 in their last 51 vs. the AL West including 6-0 with Martin Perez on the mound. Perez has been a gem especially when on 5 days rest posting a 2.61 ERA this year over 7 starts and he'll be on 5 days rest tonight. Texas has an advantage in the bullpen to posting a 1.67 ERA over their last 10 compared with Oakland's 4.88. Oakland also throws Bartolo Colon out there who has declined each month of the season in true ERA. Beltre, Rios, Moreland and Murphy all have big numbers against him and the Rangers are 3rd in the league against the fastball and that's the pitch Bartolo Colon uses 85% of the time which is the highest in the league.
