Astros over Rangers- 'Deep in the Heart of Texas' there are problems winning baseball games of late as the Astros who are running away with the AL West have lost their last three and seven of nine in August while the Rangers have lost seven of 11. Injuries to Houston's starting rotation has hampered their plight as their ERA has risen from 3.83 in the first half of the season to 5.76 since the break. Charlie Morton (9-4, 3.78 ERA) has had three straight quality starts as he tries to match his career high in wins tonight. Cole Hamels (6-1, 3.59) is 6-3 lifetime against the Astros but the Rangers have lost seven of the last 10 meetings. Take HOUSTON!
