Our Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros Prediction
The Astros are the clear betting favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. Going back to the home/away splits between these two pitchers, we see that Brown has made just two road starts this season. That said, he has allowed just four runs (three earned) over 9.0 innings. Quantrill, on the other hand, has made eight home appearances (one start) this season, having allowed 14 runs (10 earned) over 19.1 innings.
Given that the Astros have the clear edge on the mound, our Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros prediction is: Houston Astros ML.
