Yu Darvish got pushed back until tonight thanks to a rainy forecast in Baltimore, and now the Ace of the Rangers staff will be in charge of stopping a 9 game road losing streak this 4th of July Friday.

Darvish is coming into this one off a win, and he has gone a profitable 6-1 in his 8 career interleague starts, with an ERA of 1.32.

Jon Niese counters for a New York team that continues to sink. The Mets come into this one having dropped 7 of their last 8 games overall, including each of their last 4 and they never seem to give Neise any run support.

He hasn't faced the Mets and that gives a HUGE edge to Texas with Darvish on the mound.

My money is on Darvish who was held back the extra day to come on a mission tonight and pitch his team into the winner's circle and end their road losing streak.
