.. why not? Seems like a bad spot for Texas, fresh off that btm 9 loss in Boston last night. Toronto returns home after a 7 game road trip, had the day off yesterday.
Both Nelson Cruz & Lance Berkman are out of the lineup tonight-- suddenly, this Texas lineup doesn't look so dangerous:
Elvis Andrus SS
Jurickson Profar 2B
A.J. Pierzynski C
Adrian Beltre DH
Jeff Baker 3B
David Murphy LF
Craig Gentry CF
Chris McGuiness 1B
Leonys Martin RF
From Murphy down is pretty weak... Tepesch has been solid, but gets no run support (Not counting a 12-7 win over Houston, Tepesch has gotten 2.7 runs in support on average). Texas has also lost 5 of their last 6 on the road, and 3 of 5 overall.
