Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers
Sunday, April 07, 2024 – 07:10 PM ET at Globe Life Field
This game projects to have a little more scoring. However, the AI Model believes Texas will earn a 6-4 win over the Astros. With a loss, Houston would drop to 2-8 on the season. Nobody saw that coming.
Houston Astros
Tonight’s ESPN matchup will be between the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers. Many fans are excited to see Ronel Blanco back in action after his no-hitter to begin the season last week.
But don’t be surprised when Blanco struggles. Last year, he allowed a .210 ISO and a wOBA of .357 with 34.7% of fly balls allowed. He also struck out just 23% of batters and allowed 12.4% of walks.
Blanco isn’t a prospect. He just got into the league late.
Texas Rangers
That said, he’s facing a Rangers lineup that has hit a .194 ISO and a wOBA of .338 since last season. Adolis Garcia, Corey Seager and Evan Carter are all sluggers to watch out for tonight.
Meanwhile, Dane Dunning will get the call for the Rangers. He was weak in his first start but was ultimately better than Blanco last season. As a righty, he held 406 righties to a .118 ISO and wOBA of .289 with 55.7% of strikeouts.
MLB Computer Pick
Dunning will face an Astros lineup that will likely have seven righties in it. Advantage: Rangers.
Listen to the AI Model and take the Rangers at -115.
