Texas at Houston 8:10 ET
Astros over Rangers- The Astros trails Texas by four games in the loss column as they open a three game series with the division leaders at Minute Maid Park. Houston led the West for the greater part of the season but fell back in mid-September as they struggled in two recent extended road trips. They still lead for the final Wild Card spot and will have Scott Kazmir (7-10, 2.73 ERA) on the hill and he is 2-1 with a 1.60 ERA against Texas this season and 11-6 lifetime. Take HOUSTON!
