Texas at Houston

Houston won its fifth in seven games with a 14-3 blowout victory over the Twins on Sunday as Michael Brantley had four of the Astros' 20 hits and drove in four runs. Texas is solidly in last place in the AL West, saddled with a 10-25 road record. The teams have taken turns being in revenge mode as the Astros swept a four-game series from the Rangers, who then swept Houston in a three-game set the following week. Texas has lost 23 of its past 30 games and 44 of its past 57 road games dating to last season. The Rangers are 19-46 versus right-handed starters, and the Astros are 43-17 following a day off. Lance McCullers, Jr. will make his first appearance since May 22 and is expected to go about four innings before Jake Odorizzi takes over. Take the Astros.
