Predictions and pre-buzz
As per a report by Michael Arinze for Action Network, Mariners' Justin Dunn has already given up three home runs which amounts to a ratio of 3.86 home runs for every nine innings pitched. Moreover, he currently has a 9.83 FIP and 6.43 ERA. Could his numbers worsen or improve? On the other hand, Rangers' Kyle Gibson is yet to register a win this season as he went five innings without surrendering a run against the Diamondbacks. Moreover, he is currently 0-1 with a 2.45 ERA along with 13 strikeouts in only 11 innings. The report also says: "His 4.33 FIP and 3.59 SIERA numbers seem like Bob Gibson territory when compared to that of the opposing pitcher, Justin Dunn."
