Why Bet The Astros:
✅ Jose Urquidy (5-3; 5.04 ERA; 1.59 WHIP) will get the ball for the Astros and try to right the ship after yielding 14 runs (12 earned) over his previous three starts (15 innings). Urquidy is 4-0 with a shiny 1.60 ERA in five career starts against the Rangers. The 27-year-old righty took a win in a 5-2 home victory against Texas on May 22, striking out ten across 6.2 frames of a one-run ball.
✅ Dane Dunning (1-4; 4.41 ERA; 1.33 WHIP) will take the mound for the Rangers, searching for his second win of the season and first since April 30. The 27-year-old right-hander yielded four earned runs on nine hits across four innings of work in a 4-0 defeat at the Cleveland Guardians last Wednesday. He’s 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in two career starts and one relief appearance against Houston, and the current Astros are slashing .297/.373/.412 in 43 at-bats against Dunning.
