The Rangers picked up the first game of the series against Houston thanks largely to the Astros' poor reliever performance. The gap in class between the teams is too wide to date, so a loss to Texas in the second and third games was to be expected. The Rangers are now 6-12 overall. The team is tied for last in the American League West Division standings.
Martin Perez, 31, will pitch for Texas in game four against Houston. In three starts in the new season, he is 0-2 and has a 3.86 ERA.
Houston started to rule their stats
Before the start of the series with Texas, it looked like Houston would take all the games from the Rangers at all. That might have happened by Game 4, but the release in Game 1 hamstrung the Astros. Two out of three is not a bad result for Dusty Baker's team either. Wins over the underdog allowed Houston to reach 50%. The Astros are 9-9 and still 3rd in the AL West standings.
Justin Verlander himself will pitch for Houston in the fourth game against Texas. The legendary pitcher is 1-1 and has a 1.89 ERA in three starts in the new season, including a near-shutout against Seattle (4-0) of 0 runs in 8.0 innings.
Expert Betting Tips
Against Justin Verlander, Texas appear to have no chance. The 39-year-old pitcher missed last season due to injury, but when he returned to the field, he immediately began to show the highest level of work on the slide. The Rangers are one of the American League's weakest teams, and Houston need to win as many games against them as possible from a tournament perspective.
The prediction is a win for Houston.
