Coalinga's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 16-7. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Dos Palos, the win got them back to even at 12-12-1.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Coalinga has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Dos Palos struggles in that department as they've been averaging 3.8 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Coalinga skirted past Dos Palos 4-3 in their previous meeting two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Horned Toads since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
