The Astros waltz into town to face a Rangers team that is on the tail end of a pretty good week. They’ve won 6 of their last 7 games, including a series win against Oakland, which I’m sure has earned the gratitude of some Astros fans. Arlington has played well in recent series, grabbing a mini-sweep from the Diamondbacks and taking two out of four from the Angels.
Of course, that did nothing to improve the situation with the Rangers’ record, which remains abysmal. Firmly settled in the middle of a rebuild, the Rangers’ product on the field continues to underwhelm.
