It's been a train wreck season for banged up Texas, off a 2-0 loss. The Rangers are 10-26 in their last 36 road games and 6-21 against the AL West. Rangers righty Nick Martinez (3-10, 5.31 ERA) was tagged for five runs over six innings in a loss at Seattle his last time out. The team is 2-11 his last 13 starts! While Texas can't muster any good pitching, the Astros have lefty Dallas Keuchel going (10-9, 3.05). The Astros are 18-5 in Keuchel's last 23 starts with four days of rest. Houston has won nine of the last 11 meetings against Texas, including 6-2 here in Houston, so grab the home field. Play the Astros.
