The last three games between the Rangers and Astros have brought fairly even action from the betting sites. In Game 1 of the series that started on Monday, the Rangers ended up winning the game 4-3 in 10 innings with odds of -109. The Rangers have won the last 3 games against the Astros and in none of those games there were more than 8 runs.
Mahle is the Rangers' scheduled pitcher for Game 2, he has not been on a mound for more than 15 months. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023 when he played for the Twins, and in 18 innings he did well in the minor leagues in his rehabilitation process, where in 18 innings he finished with an ERA of 2.50. "As long as I try to not do too much out on the mound, that's when I've been at my best" Mahle said regarding his next start.
The Astros have lost 6 of their last 8 games and have scored just 7 runs in their last 4 games. However, it will be a relief for the Astros to have Valdez pitch for them in Tuesday's game as they have won in each of their last 5 starts, and Valdez has claimed the win in each of them.

Our Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros Prediction
Dominican Valdez is having the best moment of his personal season, in 3 of his last 4 starts he has managed to strike out 10 and pitch 6 innings or more. Although the pitching duel suits the Astros a little more than the Rangers for game 2, the betting sites have placed the Astros as slight favorites with odds -120. Despite Monday's win, the Rangers struck out 11 times. Our prediction for Rangers vs Astros is: Astros ML, -118 at FanDuel.
