Texas at Houston

Texas is fading fast after a surprisingly good first half of the season, and the Rangers have lost six in a row and now are just 19-27 on the road. Yuli Gurriel hit a three-run homer and the Astros won 6-1 on Saturday for its fourth straight win, staying 5 1/2 games in front of Oakland in the AL West. Lance Lynn gave up five runs on six hits in six innings in Texas' 9-2 loss to Arizona on Tuesday. Houston counters with Rogelio Armenteros, who will make his first start following three relief appearances when he allowed two earned runs in nine innings. The Rangers will be seeing Armenteros for the first time. The Astros are 35-14 at home and 42-18 overall following a win and 35-16 their last 51 games against right-handed starters. Houston has won the last six meetings at home. Take the Astros.
