- Analysis
- The Texas Rangers lost game one of this three game set with their instate rivals, Houston. The Astros took game one, 7-5 on Tuesday. The Rangers dropped to 48-61 and have no postseason hopes. Glenn Otto starts today with a 4-8 record in his 16 starts and a 5.31 ERA. Otto has been ok of late but the team has not won any of his last seven starts and Otto is 0-5 during that same span. The Houston Astros are cruising to their AL West Championship with a 71-40 record and 11.5-games ahead of 2nd place Seattle. Their ACE, Just Verlander will toe the rubber today. Verlander is 15-3 in his 20 starts with a 1.73 ERA. He's been even better of late with a 7-0 record in his last seven starts and a 0.76 ERA. I'm going to lay the Run Line here with the Astros and look for an easy win.
