Cole Hamels set to make his Rangers debut on Saturday

Cole Hamels will start against the Giants on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.

What It Means:

Against left-handed pitching, the Giants rank 16th in wOBA (.305) and have the 10th lowest strikeout percentage (19.7%), but they rank 28th in ISO (.100). Our algorithm projects Hamels to pitch 6.35 innings while allowing 3.05 earned runs on 6.10 hits and striking out 5.43 batters. On a day with several elite pitchers taking the hill, those numbers put Hamels as the seventh best pitcher among our projections in terms of daily fantasy points.
