The Astros are expected to start J.P. France for today’s game. France has started the season 0-0 with a 4.76 ERA and five strikeouts. Yainer Diaz leads the team with a .400 batting average, an OBP of .455, and 12 hits. Jeremy Pena has tallied six RBIs, and Jose Altuve has blasted three home runs.

Game Prediction

The Rangers didn’t let me down yesterday, but today will be different. France is on the mound and will give this Texas lineup all it can handle. On the other side, Jon Gray is off to a slow start, but he is in a favorable match against a Houston team that has not played well this year. I refuse to let France’s pitching scare me. I am going with what I know and rolling with the Rangers to clinch the series today.

Final Pick

Texas Rangers ML (-110)
