Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
Texas took each of the first two games of the series on the road and appeared to have Houston in a brutal spot but the experienced, defending World Series champions stayed within themselves and racked off 18 runs in the last two contests to route the Rangers in both and even the series.
We were on Houston in Game 3 and the total last night so I want to keep the money train rolling in this series. I do think we will go back to sides in Game 5 but tonight, I really just want to back the total again. Game 2 snuck over but we have now seen the over hit in each of the last three games, three of the four this series and both games at Globe Life have sailed over with Game 3 clearing the total by four and Game 4 clearing by three.
I know we have Justin Verlander and Jordan Montgomery back on the mound and both were great in their first starts but now each squad has seen them in the last week and the bats are awake. Texas has already put up 15 runs in this series and Houston has 22 in the last three games alone. The bats are the deciding factor in my eyes tonight.
