HOU +120

Astros own Globe Life – 21-6 in last 27 games in Arlington. Just broke Texas’ 6-game win streak with a 6-3 win Friday. Houston’s confidence rising despite injuries. Peña hitting .306, Meyers producing, lineup finding rhythm. Depth + history on their side. Ronel Blanco trending up – 2.84 ERA & 0.89 WHIP in last 3 starts. Tossed 8-inning gem recently, just 2 hits, 1 run. Astros 9-3 in his last 12 starts. Rangers missing Seager, a huge blow to their top-heavy lineup. Edge to Houston if Blanco settles early. Biggest edge: the bullpen. Astros’ relievers dominant – 1.03 ERA, 0.72 WHIP over last 3 games (26.1 IP). Close game favors Houston late. Seager’s absence + pen issues tilt it HOU’s way.

Under 8.5-120
