Houston at Texas

Houston is back to winning again after going through a rough patch in mid-June and the Astros won their third straight 5-3 over the Rangers on Friday when Jose Altuve homered on the first pitch and Mauricio Dubon hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth. The Astros have scored 29 runs their past three games and Texas has lost five of seven. Nathan Eovaldi has pitched well for Texas his past three starts with nothing to show for it as the Rangers lost all three and he is 9-3 with a 2.82 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Hunter Brown gave up one run on three hits in six innings in a 6-5 11-inning win over the Dodgers on Sunday and Texas batters are 7-for-42 against him for a .167 batting average with no homers. Houston is 25-16 on the run line on the road this season and that's the way to go in this matchup. Play the Astros on the run line.
