Rangers: RHP Merrill Kelly (12-8, 3.46)

This is either his last or next-to-last start of the season, depending upon how the Rangers want to arrange their rotation down the stretch as they fall out of the playoff picture. Kelly struggled in his last start against Houston, as he gave up nine hits and six earned runs in three innings, his worst outing since joining the franchise. He’s allowed 19 hits and nine earned runs in his last two games, which could be an indication of wear and tear down the stretch. He’ll be a free agent after the season. The Rangers should be interested in keeping him, but he will have suitors.

Marlins: RHP Eury Pérez (7-5, 4.40)

The 22-year-old is already into his second campaign, and he’s seen his ERA balloon by more than a point from a season ago (3.15) as he enters his 19th start. He won his last game against Colorado, allowing one hit and no runs in five innings. His ERA has really taken off in his last seven starts (6.36) but he’s 3-2 and has struck out 33. He’s getting solid run support and he’s allowing batters to hit just .200 off him, an improvement over .214 a season ago.
