Jacob deGrom's Strong Performance Despite Winless Streak Sets Up Potential High-Scoring Matchup Against Rangers

Jacob deGrom has demonstrated improvement in his performance, despite going winless in his recent outings. With a WHIP of 0.96 this season, he has shown strong control over limiting base runners. Although his strikeout numbers dipped in his last start, deGrom has been effective in finding his strikeout pitch. The Texas Rangers were shut out in their previous game, but are likely to have more opportunities against Erick Fedde, who has struggled with walks and strikeouts. This matchup could result in high-scoring innings with plenty of balls in play. Furthermore, deGrom boasts an impressive 1.71 ERA at home and is set to face a Cardinals team that has struggled offensively in recent games. Considering these factors, it may be wise to consider the Rangers with the money line for this game.
