Game Preview
Yesterday was a good day for the Texas Rangers as they managed to snap their 9-game losing streak when they picked up a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Today they’ll be looking to wrap the series on a positive note as they have already plummeted to fourth place in the American League West division. Meanwhile, Houston is very comfortable even after their recent loss as they are leading the AL with a 87-49 record, and they are only behind the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 93-42 record.
After their Monday victory, the Astros increased their lead in the AL West to double digits and have the best record in the AL. Offensively, they average 4.46 runs per game, which is 12th in the league. They are 13th in team batting average, 5th in home runs, and 7th in slugging percentage.

Nathaniel Lowe leads the Rangers batting .305 with 23 home runs and 67 RBI while Corey Seager is hitting .253 with 29 home runs and 72 RBI. Today would be the day where Dallas Keuchel makes a start, but Keuchel has been so brutal in his two Texas starts that he was released recently.
In Keuchel’s place, the 24-year-old lefty Cole Ragans was called up and he’ll get the start. He is carrying a 0-2 record with a 4.42 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP over 18.1 innings pitched while striking out 9 throughout 4 starts.
