Result: Win
The set-up: The Rangers came from behind to knock off the Astros 9-8 yesterday, but I think the division leaders will bounce back here. The visitors hand the ball to Wade Miley, while the home side counters with Mike Minor.
The pitchers: Miley (7-4, 3.28 ERA) beat the Rangers 4-2 on May 9th at home, allowing two runs off two hits with seven K's over six innings. Houston is 5-4 in his last nine starts, despite Miley posting a sharp 3.04 ERA in that span.
Minor (8-4, 2.54) is 3-0 with a 2.18 ERA over his last six starts. Difficult to say too many negative things about Minor, so I won't bother. I simply feel he's in the wrong place at the wrong time here vs. the hungry Astros.
The pick: Additionally note that Houston is still 14-6 this year as a road favorite in the -125 to -175 range, while Texas is just 24-30 in its last 54 after scoring nine or more runs. Look for the hungry Astros to get back on track after last night's loss.
