This is a 10* play on the Texas Rangers.

The Rangers are still sitting in first place in the AL West, and they be just a slight favorite against the cellar dwelling Astros in Texas tonight. Houston is off to an unexpected slow start, and this looks like another tough spot for the Astros.

Derek Holland will toe the rubber for the Rangers, and he's off to a hot start in 2016. The veteran southpaw is 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA, and he tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings in a win over Seattle his last time out. He has been good in previous meetings with the Astros, going 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA in seven appearances over the last three seasons.

The Astros hand the ball to Scott Feldman, who has not looked sharp since joining the team. Feldman (0-1, 3.48 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 4-2 loss to the Royals his last time out. He got really roughed up by the Rangers last season, going 0-2 with a 10.38 ERA in two starts.

Prince Fielder is batting .313 with a pair of doubles, a home run and seven RBIs lifetime versus Feldman.

Take TEX.
