Our Houston Astros vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Difference Maker: Hunter Brown just shut out the Chicago White Sox through seven innings in a 4-1 win on July 25.
Brown has been erratic this season, but this latest dominant start should bolster his confidence ahead of his faceoff with the Rangers batters, who are only batting .194 with an average of 3.5 runs over the last five games.
What to Expect: Hunter Brown outduels Nathan Eovaldi, putting the Astros in position to win their third straight game. The Astros’ offense will play an important role, giving Brown all the run support he needs to keep the Rangers at bay.
Fearless Forecast: Astros 5, Rangers 2
