In case you haven’t noticed, the best race in the Majors is happening in the American League West. Heading into Saturday action, the Texas Rangers are just a half game back of the Oakland Athletics for first overall. Texas is well aware of the fact that they need to make hay while the sun is shining and a series against the lowly Astros means the sun is beaming bright. Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish is 3-0 during his career versus Houston and he has given up just five runs and tossed 33 strikeouts over 23 2/3 innings pitched. Darvish is 2-0 against the ‘Stros this year – including a near perfect game on the second day of the 2013 MLB season.
Following a mid-June “surge” where they posted a 7-3 record, it’s back to “same old – same old” for Houston as the Astros have lost nine of their last eleven games. The ‘Stros (31-56) have now fallen back into last place overall in the Majors and they have been outscored by 82-34 count during their recent skid. Those numbers include a 10-5 dismantling by the Rangers in Arlington last night – plus 12-0 and 8-0 recent loses to the Tampa Bay Rays. Checking the odds at sportsbook.com we find Texas is thick chalk at -1.5 (-140) ATS and -300 on the money line. We will lay the runs and back the Rangers in this MLB AL West battle tonight!
