The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers continue their four-game series tonight at Globe Life Field, with first pitch scheduled for 8:05 p.m. ET. 

While Jacob deGrom has had his struggles lately, my Astros vs. Rangers predictions are eyeing him to lead Texas to victory here. 

Find out why in my MLB picks for Wednesday, May 27. 

Who will win Astros vs Rangers today: Rangers moneyline (-150)

The Texas Rangers took Game 2 of the series on Tuesday by a score of 10-7, their second win in the last three meetings with the Houston Astros this season. The hosts turn to Jacob deGrom here, who has been a dominant figure on home soil. 

Across four home outings, the right-hander owns a stellar 1.16 ERA, and he's surrendered just two earned runs across his previous three appearances at Globe Life Field. To put his brilliance in Arlington into perspective, deGrom's ERA is north of six on the road. He's a completely different pitcher in front of the Rangers faithful. 

The Astros, meanwhile, counter with Mike Burrows, who has allowed 11 earned runs and four homers across his last two starts. Overall, Burrows has a 5.75 ERA

Covers COVERS INTEL: Opponents have a .383 wOBA against Burrows this season, putting him in the bottom 7% of the big leagues.

Astros vs Rangers Over/Under pick: Over 7.5 (+105)

This has been a high-scoring matchup in recent memory. Three straight meetings have cashed the Over, with 17 combined runs scored on Tuesday.

DeGrom's form at home is clear, but he has been prone to allowing some runs lately, especially via the long ball, and the Astros hit him well a couple of weeks ago. 

Burrows is incredibly inconsistent, and he's getting hit around the ballpark. While the Texas bullpen has impressed with a 3.14 ERA, the Houston pen is atrocious, with an MLB-worst 5.47 ERA. 

The bats should come out to play tonight, and I expect a lot of the offense to come from the Rangers.
