Monday’s Probable Pitchers

Rangers: LHP Jacob Latz (1-0, 3.15)

Latz is proving what manager Bruce Bochy said about him earlier this season — that he has starter stuff. The 29-year-old reliever will be making his third straight start since replacing Nathan Eovaldi in the rotation. While he doesn’t have a decision he’s kept the Rangers in both games. He’s pitched 9.2 innings and allowed four earned runs, struck out six and walked three. He threw 71 pitches in his last start against Arizona and should be good for 80 or more against the Brewers.

Astros: LHP Jose Quintana (11-5, 3.72)

The Brewers signed him in March, and the 36-year-old has become a quality back-of-the-rotation starter for Milwaukee. He won his last start, which came against Philadelphia, during which he gave up seven hits and three earned runs in 6.1 innings. He struck out six and walked three. He is 4-1 in his last seven starts, and even though he has a 4.19 ERA in that span, the results are there He’s struck out 28 and walked 13 in 38.2 innings. He won’t strike out a lot of hitters, but he’s only allowing hitters to bat .244 against him this season.
