Game Preview
The Houston Astros will take a trip to Globe Life Field to start a three-game series against the Texas Rangers. The Astros almost got swept by the Miami Marlins on Sunday, but Jose Altuve managed to turn things around for his team and they were able to pick up a 9-4 over Miami. Now, the team will look to beat the Texas Rangers, a team that comes off after a recent 2-1 series win over the Chicago White Sox.
The Rangers are tailing right behind the Houston Astros in the American League West division standings, although it might be a bit deceiving, considering that the Astros are almost 10 games ahead of them. It’s very clear that the Astros are the favorite ones coming into this match, but even if their position in the standings is a comfortable one, they haven’t looked that great in the past week as they have lost 2 straight series.
Christian Javier will be the starting pitcher for the Houston Astros, making his 7th start of the season. With a 3-3 record, Javier has been unable to show his best form as he is holding a 3.22 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP over 44.2 innings pitched. He picked up his last loss against the Seattle Mariners 7 days ago, when he allowed 5 runs on 6 hits and 1 walk throughout 3.2 innings. Though he’s been unable to go deep as of recently, he pitched 6 innings in his last start against this Rangers team and only gave 1 run away.
The 27-year-old left-handed pitcher Taylor Hearn will be making his 12th start of the season for the Texas Rangers. He is on a 4-4 record with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP over 50 innings pitched. Hearn picked up his 4th win on Tuesday, when he gave up 3 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks over 5.2 innings against the Cleveland Guardians.
The Houston Astros offense has had no issues hitting against Hearn this season. They are 2-0 against the Rangers in the games that Hearn has taken the mound, scoring 8 runs in just 9.2 innings of work against him, making this a great matchup for the Astros.
