Scott Feldman has a chance to get two quality starts this week, as he faces the Rangers at home and the Angels in Los Angeles. Since his 10-hit, 7-earned run outing on April 13, Feldman has allowed 7 earned runs and 19 hits over 19.2 innings pitched. Throw in the win streak and hot offense, and Feldman is a viable two-start option.

The Texas Rangers are middle-of-the-road in runs scored away from Arlington, but their batting average is anything but at .204, the worst in baseball. The Rangers offense is also one of 11 to not reach double-digit home runs away from home, and are averaging a home run every 44.7 at-bats.

Feldman has shut down his former team, holding the current Rangers' roster to a .209 average while allowing 2 homers and 14 runs in 158 at-bats.

The Angels have had a rough start to their home schedule in 2015. Their four runs scored per game are slightly below MLB average, which is interesting considering the talent on the roster. What should help you decide to start Feldman on the road in L.A. is the Angels’ inability to score after getting on base at home. The team is slashing .226/.299/.343, well below MLB’s team average. Feldman’s 2015 BABIP in 2015 is on par with his 2014 and career BABIP, and his Left On Base Percentage (LOB%, 71.9) is 0.3% higher than in 2014. If you didn’t know, these stats helped aid his career-best 3.74 ERA. Feldman earned his first win of the season against the Angels in Houston.
