Houston Astros vs Texas Rangers Preview

The Houston Astros completed a late comeback on Tuesday night to win the first two games of the series with the Texas Rangers, so that makes Wednesday night’s affair a big one for the Rangers! There has been a playoff atmosphere for the first two games of the series as both teams have their eyes on reaching the post-season.

The Rangers and Astros are separated by a single game in the race for the AL West Division title, so these heads-up games are almost twice as important as any on the schedule. The Rangers come into Wednesday night’s game with a record of 59 – 43, and with the comeback win on Tuesday night, the Stros improved to 58 – 44.

These two teams will play one more 3-game series later in the campaign, and that will also be a big set of circumstances as they battle down the stretch of the season.

This game on Wednesday night will resemble the first game of this series from Monday night in which 18 players crossed home plate. Here is your first bet full of value to make for this affair,…

The 1st 5-Inning Over 5 Runs!

Pinnacle is offering a gaudy 2.46 for the Over 5, although you can surely settle for the Over 4.5 which is still listed at plus-money.

Andrew Heaney and Framber Valdez are listed as the probable starting pitchers, and all I can see is a 4 – 3 score going to the 4th inning. This game total of 8.5 is going to be topped by the 6th inning, so you can certainly use that as filler for an ACCA if you are looking for spare tips.

The bet builder I want to suggest for this game combines the Texas Rangers Team Total of Over 3.5 Runs with the Rangers’ Moneyline. Houston is strongly favoured to win this game and Bet365 is offering 2.50 odds on Texas to eke out a win and take 2 of the three games of this series.

Valdez and Heaney are both going to allow a pair of home runs, at least, and I doubt that either of the two will be landing a decision of any type on Wednesday night. This game will be 6 – 6 at some point and then we can sit back and wait for the Rangers to finish the job that helps us cash in the 4.77 bet builder!
