Two teams experiencing vastly different starts to the season clash on Monday night, when the 6-3 Texas Rangers host the 3-7 Houston Astros at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Despite their early season struggles and current losing record, the Astros are still fourth favourites for the World Series and many experts are predicting that it's only a matter of time before they hit top form. 

This fixture is the final encounter of a four game series between the sides. The Rangers took the opening two games 10-2 and 7-2, before Houston hit back with a 3-1 success on Sunday. Overall, the Lone Star rivalry is an extremely close one. The Rangers lead the overall head to head 140-136, but in recent years Houston have comfortably held the upper hand. The Astros have a 38-16 advantage over the Rangers in the last 4 seasons, however the Rangers prevailed 4-3 when the teams met in the 2023 ALCS.

Our Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros Prediction

We are going against the bookies here. Of course, the Astros are a supremely talented team, full of world class players, but they are nowhere near the peak of their powers at the minute. In contrast, the Rangers have hit their stride already this season and are playing some of the best ball in the whole league. Despite those facts, the Astros are still short odds favourites to claim the W and level the four game series. We think this makes the home side a great value option in the markets, so our prediction for Rangers vs Astros is: Rangers to win, 2.20 at BetMGM.
