(965) Texas Rangers at (966) Houston Astros

4% Texas Rangers +118 D Dunning (RHP) Must Start

The teams split 4 games last week with Texas winning the first two and dropping the last two. Texas then lost 2 of 3 to Oakland and got one-hit so getting out of town to face an in0state rival can be a positive. Houston could not make from winning the last two in the series versus Texas as they went to KC and got swept three straight all as a favorite by a combined 28-8. Astros have FIVE starters on the injury list so it is no surprise that their team ERA is #28 with an overused bull pen having a 5.14 ERA. Dunning has gone 13 innings in his two starts and he did allow 3 runs in each but still ranks the edge here.
