Chip's AL Vegas Hotline Best Bet (Rangers/Astros)
(MLB) Texas vs. Houston,
Money Line: 106.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
Texas at Houston 2:10 ET
Astros over Rangers- Last year the Rangers made a late trade deadline move and picked up Cole Hamels and that move has paid dividends and now just last week they picked-up catcher Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Beltran and once again there deadline moves are paying off. Lucroy hit a tying homer and Beltran drove in the winning run in Saturday's 3-2 (Vegas Hotline) win over the Astros. Yu Darvish (2-3, 3.29 ERA) is back and throwing well for the Rangers but they have to overcome their in ability to win on the road where they are 6-13 in their last 19. Joe Musgrove (0-0, 0.00) gets his first MLB start and was impressive in his lone relief appearance striking out eight in 4 1/3 innings. Take HOUSTON!
