Key Stats
Texas Rangers
Dane Dunning will get the start for the Rangers in today’s game. Dunning has started the season 1-0 with a 4.26 ERA and struck out seven batters. Adolis Garcia has hit four home runs and recorded 11 RBIs, while Corey Seager leads the team with a .379 batting average and an OBP of .471. Marcus Semien has a team-high 11 hits.
Houston Astros
The Astros are expected to start Ronel Blanco for today’s game. Blanco has started the season 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and seven strikeouts. Jose Altuve leads the team with a .378 batting average, three home runs, 14 hits, an OBP of .425, and 12 hits. Jeremy Pena has tallied a team-high six RBIs.
Game Prediction
Texas has dominated this series, and I don’t see that changing today. This Astros offense has been stagnant since the start of the season, and now they face Dunning, who is one of the best pitchers in the league. Blanco is coming off the first no-hitter of 2024, but I guarantee he will struggle against this stout Texas lineup. I am going with what I know in this and rolling with the Rangers to win and sweep the series at home.
Final Pick
Texas Rangers ML (-115)
