The Houston Astros will go for their fifth straight win and a sweep of the Texas Rangers when the two clubs wrap up their 3-game set in Arlington. Houston is expected to hand the ball to the future Hall of Famer, Zack Greinke. Greinke has been on his mark all season, with a record of 11-4, a 3.41 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP, and over his last 3, it gets better. Greinke is 1-1 with an ERA of just 1.42, a 0.74 WHIP, and will be seeking his fifth straight victory over the lowly Rangers. Texas is expected to send Taylor Hearn (3-4, 4.06 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) to the the hill. Hearn, who has been used primarily in relief, does have 5 starts on the season, where he has gone 1-2 with an elevated ERA of 5.71. Houston has won 7 straight against Texas and with Greinke on the hill you have to consider the Stros.
