DIVISIONAL GAME OF THE MONTH - EARLY START!
(MLB) Astros (HOU) vs. Rangers (TEX),
Money Line: -118.00 Astros (HOU) (Away)
Result: Win
At 2:35pm ET, my AL West GOM is on Houston. The Rangers' playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. The Astros have a chance to really hurt those chances even further. They won yesterday and they will again this afternoon. Kikuchi got off to a shaky start in his Astro debut but turned things around brilliantly. Eleven strikeouts in 5.2 innings! He's a good addition to the team and he will bring his A-Game today. Urena got destroyed in his last start, 7 runs in 4 innings. Primarily a reliever, he rarely goes deep into games. Ureña has a 0-3 record with a 7.02 ERA in 6 career appearances versus the Astros. Kikuchi has a record of 3-1 versus the Rangers. Play on Houston.
