Claim Your Welcome Bonus!Texas take their only chance
The Rangers approached the series with Houston as the clear American League underdog, so a 2-1 Astros lead in the sixth inning was no surprise at all. But as soon as their opponent changed pitchers, Texas began to score. As a result, through the efforts of the top of the lineup Simien, Seager, and Garcia, the Rangers took the lead by the 8th inning and then held a 6-2 advantage.
Taylor Hearn will pitch for Texas in the second game of the series. The 27-year-old pitcher has a 7.59 ERA and an 0-1 win-loss record in his three starts in the new league.
Houston let the reliever down
Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez pitched brilliantly through six innings of the first game of the series, not allowing a single hit. But as soon as the relievers started showing up on the slide, things went downhill for the Astros. Parker Mushinski and Phil Maton were the biggest "marks", conceding two wounds each. In that loss, Houston went 7-9 - just one more win than Texas.
The experienced Jake Odorizzi will start for Houston in Game 2. The pitcher failed his last game, allowing 6 runs in 0.2 innings against the Los Angeles Angels.
Expert Betting Tips
Should Houston lose their second game in Arlington, allow Texas to catch up in the standings. Given the difference in class between the teams, this is unlikely to happen. Most likely, Houston will win not only the second game but all the other games in this series as well.
The prediction is a win for Houston.
