Our Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros Prediction

The Rangers are the small betting favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. This is because of the home/away splits for the starting pitchers. Javier has made three appearances on the road (two starts), where he has allowed seven earned runs over 5.2 innings. Gore, on the other hand, has made eight home starts this season, having allowed 19 earned runs over 48.1 innings.  

Both teams have been inconsistent recently; however, given that the Rangers have the better overall starting pitcher and the fact that Javier has struggled on the road, our Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros prediction is: Texas Rangers ML.
