The Astros are getting hot at the right time while they meet up against their rival the Rangers. Brown has been getting better for Houston in his last five starts before he had a lapse in this last outing, however, will be a good bounce back spot for him at home with an improving ERA of 4.48. They face the struggling Rangers who have been so inconsistent this season and are putting Heaney on the mound who was terrible all season before he put up four good starts in the last four games. Texas has struggled to win in Houston as the Rangers are 16-36 in the last 52 meetings in Houston. The Astros are 9-1 in their last 10 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game, and even though this will be a tough series for the Astros, they have been solid at home in the last month and they have the better offense so they should have the edge in this game.

Best bet: take Houston on the moneyline (ML).
