Houston still has won five of the past seven meetings although the Astros do come off a 2-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday. Nathaniel Lowe had a two-out RBI single in the 10th to win it for Texas, which is still five games under .500 and 21-29 on the road. It snapped a four-game win streak for the Astros, who have won 13 of Ronel Blanco's past 17 starts this season and he is 9-3 with a 0.99 WHIP. Houston is 5-0 in Blanco's past five starts after scoring two or fewer runs its previous game and the Astros have won five straight as favorites of -110- to -150. Texas has lost eight of nine as a road underdog. Houston is 7-0 UNDER in Blanco's past seven home starts and 6-0 UNDER at home when he starts against teams with losing records. Take the Astros and the UNDER.
