Texas at Houston

The Houston Astros are battling it out for the best record in the AL, currently tied with the Yankees. Houston overcame a 4-0 deficit last night vs Texas to win 7-5. Tonight they're wheeling out Cy Young candidate Justin Verlander, who is in the midst of one of his best seasons ever at 15-3. He owns a 21-9 career record vs Texas backed by a 2.74 ERA. In his three most-recent starts the Rangers have scored a total of four runs. Texas goes with Glenn Otto, who has four starts against Houston, and his team is 0-4 while his ERA stands at 5.31. I like Houston in this one.
