The Houston Astros will look to sweep the Texas Rangers tonight at Daikin Park when they wrap up their 3-game set, but not so fast. The Rangers will have Jacob deGrom on the hill. The future Hall of Famer has been in the zone this year like every year. He is 12-7 with an ERA of just 2.82 and a WHIP of only 0.92. The Astros are expected to counter with Cristian Javier, and this guy is hittable. Javier is 1-3 with a 4.79 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. The Rangers are still in the wild card hunt but sit 3.5 games back for the final spot with only 10 games left so losing is not an option. Houston will be without Yordan Alvarez which hurts, and they are 0-5 in their last 5 games in Game 3 of a series.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TEXAS RANGERS
