Texas Rangers Form
Texas head to Houston on an inconsistent run of form, having gone 6-7 over the previous 13 games.
The Rangers ended June with back-to-back defeats, losing 6-4 to Seattle and 10-6 to Baltimore, but rebounded to start July with 10-2 and 6-0 wins over the Orioles.
They then went out on the road and sandwiched a 7-4 victory in San Diego with a 3-2 and 4-1 defeats to the Padres.
Texas then responded to a 6-5 defeat at the Los Angeles Angels with a 13-1 blowout win, only then those the third meeting 11-8.
The Rangers bounced back quickly to split the series though, downing the Angels 11-4 last night.
Houston Astros Form
Houston go into this series on the back of being swept by Cleveland, but having won 11 of their last 16 games.
The Astros were rolling in late June as they backed up an 8-7 victory at the Los Angeles Angels with 1-0, 2-0 and 2-1 wins at home to Philadelphia.
They then sandwiched a 12-3 defeat to the Chicago Cubs with 7-4 and 2-0 wins, before heading to Colorado to beat the Rockies 6-5 and 5-3.
Houston dropped the series finale 7-6, but responded in emphatic fashion as they swept the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road, winning 18-1, 6-4 and 5-1.
The Astros failed to build on that at home though, as they were beaten 7=5, 10-6 and 4-2 by Cleveland.
Verdict
Houston had a rough time in their last series, but they have largely been strong at home in recent times.
Lance McCullers Jr is also coming off his best performance of the season so far, so we expect a response from the Astros.
