Astros vs Rangers MLB Betting Preview
Houston Astros Betting Preview: Burrows Struggling to Settle
After pitching to an ERA of 3.94 with a 3.86 across 96 innings last season, Burrows has struggled to settle into form in his first campaign with the Astros. He holds relatively average underlying results with a 4.12 xERA and 4.47 xFIP, but has suffered from a career-high BABIP and a career-low strand rate.
The Astros' depleted lineup has continued to struggle over the last month, as they have hit to a wRC+ of 92 and hold the third-lowest BB/K ratio in MLB. Yordan Alvarez has been exceptional with a 1.045 OPS, but is being asked to compensate for some significant holes further down the lineup.
Texas Rangers Betting Preview: DeGrom the Key for Rangers
Jacob DeGrom will look to continue his dominance at Globe Life Field on Wednesday, where he has pitched to an ERA of 1.14 and a WHIP of 0.59 across 23 and 2/3 innings this season. DeGrom also pitched to an ERA of 2.35 across 88 innings at home last season.
Globe Life has been the most pitcher-friendly ballpark in MLB by a wide margin this season, with a Park Factor rating of 86. The under holds a 16-6-1 record at Globe Life this season and has yielded a +37.2% ROI.
While the Astros' injury concerns have been widely covered, the Rangers are currently without some key pieces, including Corey Seager, Wyatt Langford, and Josh Smith, though collectively, the three have posted disappointing results at the plate this season.
Texas holds a wRC+ of 79 at home this season and has slugged just .328 playing in a park that seems to contain the majority of well-hit balls.
Astros vs Rangers Pick, Betting Analysis
While Tuesday's matchup was a shootout, it was by a wide margin the season's highest-scoring matchup at Globe Life, and it seems logical to expect things to return to normal on Wednesday.
Both depleted offenses have been in relatively poor form of late, and the Rangers' distinct lack of power at home should help Burrows settle into this matchup.
DeGrom has been nearly untouchable at home, where he clearly feels quite comfortable leaning into an aggressive approach in a ballpark that does not yield many long balls.
At -110, there appears to be value in betting the under on Wednesday, targeting a trend that has yielded a 37% ROI this season.
Pick: Under 7.5 Runs -110 (FanDuel, Play to -115)
