The Houston Astros are the best team in the majors and no one within their own division looks capable of stepping up to offer a challenge. The Astros will try to become the first team to reach 40 wins and push their latest streak to 9 straight victories.

Houston Astros bats will be too much for Rangers starter Andrew Cashner.

Houston goes with Lance McCullers who went 4-0 with a 0.99 ERA in six starts in May, allowing 21 hits in 36 1/3 innings. He threw 22 consecutive scoreless innings at one point. He's 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in his past three road starts, covering 19 innings.
Overall on the season he has a 6-1 record and a 2.48 ERA.
Houston SS Carlos Correa is batting .472 with four homers and 13 RBIs in his last eight games and I expect them to stay hot.
Last night Houston was a 7-1 winner against the Rangers and I like them to get another win here on Saturday night.
