Result:
WIN

The battle of Texas isn't really much of a battle at all as the Astros are an elite team, while the Rangers acknowledge that they are in a rebuilding mode. Houston took care of business last night, and will have their hands full against a revitalized Justin Verlander. Verlander had some arm issues that robbed him of his velocity, but he is back and as good as ever, entering tonight's game with an MLB best 1.24 ERA. Texas is going to need a gem out of Doug Fister, but at 1-6 on the season, it doesn't seem likely he will contain a deep and powerful Houston lineup. Houston has won eight of the last nine meetings here, so make your play on Houston.
