Look for the Astros to come out fired-up in this kill spot. Houston has lost three in a row. The Astros were ilde on Monday so they will be rested and ready here.

Houston has won 26 of its last 36 away matchups and is 10-4 versus the Rangers this season.

Dallas Keuchel goes for Houston. He has better peripherals than his 4.22 ERA shows. He ranks first in the American League in groundball-to-fly ball ratio - a key when pitching at hitter-friendly Globe Life Park - and ranks third in the AL in soft contact percentage.

Long-time minor leaguer Austin Bibens-Dirkx is going for the Rangers. I don't see the 33-year-old Bibens-Dirkx faring well against an Astros lineup that has the third-highest batting average in the majors and ranks in the top-seven in runs and homers.
