Is mighty Texas vulnerable anywhere? Sure. The Rangers are 2-5 in their last seven interleague road games and 2-5 in their last 7 interleague games against a right-handed starter. They're also vulnerable, as every team is, when they get lousy starting pitching and that's the case today with struggling Colby Lewis going. Lewis is 0-3 his last three starts with a 6.52 ERA. He got smacked around by Kansas City in his last start allowing ten base runners in 5+ innings of a 7-4 loss. They face a Houston team that is better than many expected and really good at home with a 13-9 record. The Astros are 10-4 in their last 14 home games and have reliable starter Jordan Lyles on the hill, with a 3.00 ERA allowing fewer hits than innings pitched. And before being called up he was 5-0 for the Triple-A RedHawks. Houston was a +160 dog and beat Texas yesterday and they will do it again. Play the Astros.
