Schule's 10* MLB *TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE* - HOU@TEX
(MLB) Houston vs. Texas, 09/14/2015 4:05 PM, Score: 3 - 5
Money Line: -125.00 Texas (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Texas Rangers.

The Rangers host the Astros in a four game set in Arlington beginning Monday, and there's only 1.5 games separating these two teams in the standings. Houston has not played well on the road of late, losing six of it's last nine away from Minute Maid Park. The Rangers send Cole Hamels to the hill in Game 1, and he's won five straight starts. His last start in Texas was an impressive performance, striking out 10 while allowing one run on two hits over eight innings in a win over the Orioles.

The Astros will hand the ball to Scott Kazmir, who has lost three straight starts. Kazmir (7-10, 2.63 ERA) allowed four runs on seven hits over six innings in a loss to his former team in Oakland his last time out. He's 0-1 with a 3.09 ERA in two starts in Texas this season.

The Rangers rank second in the major leagues in runs scored versus left-handed pitching, and they have won 18 of their last 23 home games.

Take Texas.
