Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros Picks

Minute Maid Park

<p>It has been a woeful start to the season for the Houston Astros, but one bright spot has been starting pitcher Ronel Blanco. This afternoon, Blanco will look to continue his stellar start with a second straight gem against the Texas Rangers (4:05 pm ET, FS1).</p>
<p>Last night, the Rangers (8-6) opened this three-game series with a 12-8 win at Minute Maid Park. It was a fourth straight loss for the Astros, who have won just four times in their first 15 games this season.</p>
<p>Two of those wins, however, have come with Blanco on the mound. He tossed a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays 12 days ago, then delivered six more shutout innings in a win over the Rangers in Arlington last Sunday.</p>
<p>With how many runs that Houston has allowed over the last few days, another strong start for Blanco today would be a welcome sight. Will he deliver?</p>

<h2>Pitching Matchup for Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros</h2>
<ul>
<li>Texas Rangers: LHP Andrew Heaney (2 starts, 0-2, 7.56 ERA)</li>
<li>Houston Astros: RHP Ronel Blanco (2 starts, 2-0, 0.00 ERA)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros Betting Analysis</h2>
<p>After losing the first two games against the Rangers last weekend, the Astros did well to earn a series split behind Blanco’s efforts last Sunday and a big game by the bats in Monday’s series finale.</p>
<p>But Monday’s win at Globe Life Field is the high point of Houston’s week thus far. They were swept by the Royals in a three-game series in Kansas City, then continued their malaise with a rough night at home last night.</p>
<p>Over their last three losses, the Astros have given up 11, 13, and 12 runs and been outscored 36-13. Can it get worse? It certainly can, but Blanco’s turn on the bump couldn’t be coming at a better time.</p>
<p>Houston’s hitters may also be looking forward to another matchup with Heaney, who they hit hard in Monday’s 10-5 win.</p>
<p>In just 3.2 innings, Heaney allowed six runs, four hits, and three walks. He exited with a 5-4 lead, but Brock Burke allowed his two inherited runners to come across on an RBI double by Yordan Alvarez and a two-run single by Kyle Tucker.</p>
<p>It’s still very early in the season, and there’s plenty of time for a team with this level of talent to turn things around and have a good season.</p>
<p>A win today may not prove to be the catalyst for a turnaround, and things could get worse before they get better. However, this is a spot where the Astros are worth backing. Blanco is pitching very well, and the Astros did well at the plate against Heaney earlier this week.</p>
<h2>Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros Prediction and Best Bets</h2>
<p>I wouldn’t suggest making it your biggest of the day, but I’m siding with the public and industry experts on the moneyline. According to our Rangers vs Astros matchup page, 79% of the public and six of our 11 industry experts are favoring Houston.</p>
