In this Astros vs Rangers Prediction, the Rangers are coming as -165 home favorites. The Rangers have the pitching edge in this one with Jacob deGrom on the mound, who has been elite at home with a 1.14 home ERA and looking to bounce back after two bad starts. The Rangers will face Mike Burrows who has a 5.75 ERA and 1.53 WHIP and has given up 11 runs in his last two starts and they also have a superior bullpen, so I expect them to win this one at home.
