The Phillies look to salvage the final game of this series as they go up against Martin Perez, who is 1-5, and Texas has lost six of his eight starts this season. Perez gave up two runs in 6 1/3 innings against San Diego last Thursday, but has not gotten much run support as the Rangers did not score more than two runs in any of his previous five starts. The Rangers have gone UNDER in 13 of their last 17 games when following a win and are 14-5 UNDER their last 19 home games. Also, Texas has stayed UNDER in 10 of its last 14 home games versus right-handed starters and the Rangers are 6-2-1 UNDER in Perez's last nine starts, and 20-8-1 UNDER his last 29 home starts dating to last season. Rookie Nick Pivetta will make his fourth start for Philadelphia. Take the Phillies and the UNDER.
