Houston at Texas

Houston has won five of seven after defeating Texas 5-3 on Sunday and Cristian Javier will start the final game of the series and he is 7-1 with a 3.72 ERA and 1.17 WHIP although he's looking to bounce back from a rough outing on Wednesday when the Astros eventually pulled out a 10-7 victory over St. Louis. Texas hitters are just 23-for-112 for a .205 batting average with five homers against Javier and Houston's bullpen is tied for #9 in the majors with a 1.26 WHIP along with 23 saves. Texas has lost six of nine and Martin Perez has faced the Astros once this year and allowed two runs on five hits in five innings. The Rangers have padded their record against the weaker teams this season and they have lost four of five versus opponents with winning records. Houston is 26-17 on the run line in road games and 42-14 overall its past 56 games versus left-handed starters. Take the Astros on the run line as a Max Play.
