The Rangers are currently sitting at 73-70, having had an average year, while the Astros, at 78-65, are enjoying a solid season. Their previous encounter ended in a resounding 11-0 victory for the Astros, a game that saw the Rangers struggle to find their footing.<\/p>\n<p>On the mound, the Rangers will send out Patrick Corbin, who has had a challenging season with a 7-9 record and an ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.48<\/a>. His last performance was disappointing, allowing five earned runs over six innings. Corbin&#8217;s projections indicate he will pitch around 5.3 innings today, but he\u2019s projected to give up 3.1 earned runs, which could spell trouble against a potent Astros offense.<\/p>\n<p>Framber Valdez, on the other hand, will take the hill for Houston. With a record of 12-8 and a stellar ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">3.40<\/a>, Valdez&#8217;s last outing was equally rough, surrendering six earned runs. Despite that setback, he\u2019s projected to allow just 2.2 earned runs today, making him a more favorable option for bettors looking for consistent pitching.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers&#8217; offense ranks 26th in MLB this season, struggling significantly compared to the Astros, who are 13th overall. While Texas has shown some power with a respectable home run ranking (18th), their inability to generate consistent runs could hinder their chances against a better-performing Houston lineup. With an average implied team total of 4.00 runs, the Rangers may find themselves in a tight spot against an Astros squad projected for 4.50 runs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Houston Astros Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Framber Valdez &#8211; Over\/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-145\/+115)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Due to his large reverse platoon split, Framber Valdez will benefit from going up against 9 bats in the projected lineup of the opposite hand in today&#8217;s matchup.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter).
