Tuesday’s Probable Pitchers

Rangers: LHP Patrick Corbin (6-9, 4.61)

Corbin hasn’t won a game since July 10, which was before the All-Star break. Since then, he is 0-2 with a 6.07 ERA, including 27 strikeouts and 15 walks in 29.2 innings. He has last two of his last three starts. But his inability to get deep into games has become troubling. Normally reliable to get the Rangers six innings, he hasn’t gotten out of the fifth inning in each of his last three starts and he only went 2.1 innings two starts ago.

If the Rangers fall completely out of the playoff race, Corbin might be a candidate to be de-emphasized in the rotation unless he turns things around. In 123 innings he has struck out 101 and walked 42. He is allowed batters to hit .276 against him and he has a 1.41 WHIP.

Angels: RHP Yusei Kikuchi (6-8, 3.42)

Kikuchi last won a start on Aug. 9 against Detroit, when he pitched five innings, gave up eight hits and four earned runs. He struck out seven and walked two. He’s been solid in his last seven starts, going 2-2 with a 4.38 ERA in 37 innings. He has struck out 38 and walked 12.

Yet, his performance lately hasn’t been quite as good when one breaks down his season. In his last 15 starts he is 5-3 with a 3.69 ERA. Considering his season numbers — including 153 strikeouts and 61 walks — its clear hitters have done a better job of getting to Kikuchi the past couple of months.
