This year, Rodriguez is 3-3 with a 0.99 WHIP and 1.99 ERA. Feliz is in his first year as a starter and has been very good, at 3-1 with a 3.32 ERA (good numbers in AL). Texas is slumping as of late, losing 3 of their last 4 as their offense has been stumbling, especially against good pitching. They’ll face a very good lefty in Rodriguez and the struggles should continue.
