Astros starter Hunter Brown will be the away pitcher. However, he will be pitching in his hometown of Detroit for the first time in his MLB career. Brown has pitched significantly better on the road this season. He holds a 3.86 ERA and 1.18 WHIP on the road versus a 5.47 ERA and 1.56 WHIP at home in Houston. Tigers starter Eduardo Rodriguez has the better metrics, but Astros have the edge just about everywhere else in this matchup. Houston also hits left handed pitching very well (Rodriguez is a lefty). The Astros offense has a .810 OPS against lefties, which ranks 3rd in the MLB. Our wager is a half unit on the Astros to win.

This looks like a great spot for the Rangers to end their 8 game losing streak. Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan will make his first start since August 2nd. Ryan allowed 17 home runs in a span of 7 starts. On the Rangers side of this starting pitching matchup is old reliable Max Scherzer. The Rangers have won 3 of the 4 games Scherzer has started since joining the team. He pitched an impressive 7 inning shutout a couple of starts back, with 11 strikeouts while allowing just 1 hit. We are going to side with Scherzer and the Rangers offense to get back on track. Our wager is a half unit on the Rangers moneyline.
