The Houston Astros are healthy -135 favorites against the Texas Rangers on Friday night.
With a massive starting pitching advantage, my Astros vs. Rangers predictions and MLB picks for July 10 believe that line is short and the value lies with the road team.
Who will win Astros vs Rangers today: Astros moneyline (-135)
Injuries have prevented Hunter Brown from being his usual, dominant self. However, he has still pitched well when healthy.
He has produced xERAs of 3.78 or lower in five of six starts, only struggling against the AL East-leading Rays.
One of the only problems to date is control, and that should be less of an issue against a Texas Rangers team sitting 27th in BB% against righties over the last month.
Cal Quantrill (3.35 ERA, 5.35 FIP) is a prime regression candidate, and the Houston Astros have hit much better of late.
Back Houston to -150.
COVERS INTEL: Quantrill ranks in the 23rd percentile in xERA this season, indicating his solid counting stats are smoke and mirrors.
Astros vs Rangers Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-115)
Globe Life Field is extremely pitcher-friendly.
Brown’s ability to limit hard contact, and induce grounders at a high rate, makes him particularly well-equipped to prevent runs.
Scoring should be like pulling teeth for the Rangers, which puts a lot of pressure on the Astros to put up a big number.
They will give Brown enough support to win, but I wouldn’t expect a ceiling performance offensively. For all Quantrill’s faults, he doesn’t give up a ton of hard contact and has limited homers effectively (1.12 HR/9).
There’s enough there to avoid a blowup. Bet to -125.
- ML/RL bets: 54-44, +0.65 units
