Houston are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games on the road.
The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Texas' last 10 games against Houston.
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Texas' last 8 games at home.
Prediction
The Astros took their revenge on Tuesday beating the Rangers 4-3 but they were losing the game 3-0 and scored 4 runs in the 8th inning to win the game. They'll now send Luis Garcia to the mound who has dominated the Rangers in his last 2 starts. The Rangers are calling a rookie to start for this game. Give me the Astros.
