Houston at Texas

Yu Darvish is a rare underdog due to the red-hot play of the Astros. The Rangers have won six of his last seven starts and he hasn't allowed more than three runs his last seven outings. His only loss in that span was due to one bad pitch to Jose Bautista, who hit a three-run homer in the Rangers' 3-1 loss on Saturday. Overall Darvish is 5-3 with a 2.97 ERA on the season. Dallas Keuchel is only 5-7 with a 4.24 ERA versus the Rangers in his career, including 1-3 and 5.40 in 2016. The Rangers are 17-10 at home compared to 9-18 on the road and they have won nine of their last 11 home games overall and four of their last five home contests against left-handed starters. Texas has won 73 of the last 104 meetings overall and 40 of the last 53 at home against Houston. It's a good spot for the home underdog, so play the Rangers.
