The Houston Astros will host their cross-state rival, the Texas Rangers, tonight in the second game of a 3-game set. Houston has lost 2 in a row and will give the nod to Brad Peacock tonight in an effort to get back on track. Peacock is 3-1, with an ERA of 3.15, a WHIP of 1.19, and will be going on only 3 days’ rest, which could be a reason for concern. Nick MartÃnez will take the rubber for the Rangers and he is 1-3, with an ERA of 4.88, a WHIP of 1.29, and Texas is 2-11 in his last 13 road starts. Houston has won 7 of the last 10 meetings and if fatigue isn’t an issue for Peacock tonight, they should get this one.
