7 Units - #973 Texas / #974 Houston (Over 8.5) 7/29 * 2:10 EST
A 10-run game last night and both games in this series have went Over the total. We have two pitchers in bad form coming in here and we all know Houston can flat out hit (but currently in a slump which I think they break out of today against Minor) and they get to face Mike Minor who gets the start for Texas and he has dumped his last 3 starts and in those last 3 starts has a 6.23 ERA. Lance McCullers Jr. starts for the Astro's, and his last 3 games have resulted in a 7.04 ERA.
HERE IS THE KEY. Last 5 games:
Rangers Bullpen - 10.80 ERA
Astro's Bullpen - 12.23 ERA
This gets over the number later in the game in my humble opinion. Rangers hitting .286 as a team their last 5 games, Astro;'s have been struggling but this bullpen of the Rangers can be hot into and Houston has only scored 5 runs the first 2 games of this series, both losses and will do everything they can to avoid a sweep at home here as Texas has lit them up for 18 runs in the first 2 games. Perfect setup with starters / bullpen. Revenge / Rangers with hot bats in this series. Houston tends to close out series strong and are 39-16-3 on Overs their last 57 Sunday games. Make a bigger move here on the OVER.
