Rangers vs. Astros MLB Predictions

[Shame About Ray]

The Texas Rangers actually have a chance to move two games, not one, but two above .500 when they meet the Houston Astros on Tuesday night in the first of a three game interleague online wagering series.



For the Rangers, it’s a huge game because this team hasn’t been two games above .500 since 2006. For those who don’t remember, 2006 was roughly six-hundred days or so ago. I know. A lot of baseball games have been played during that span. In any case, the Rangers send pitcher Eric Hurley to the mound. The Rangers just purchased Hurley’s contract on June 12th from Oklahoma in the Triple A Pacific Coast League. Hurley doesn’t have a whole lot of stats for baseball betting fans to go off of. His record so far in the two games he has started is 0 and 0. His ERA in those two games is 4.91.

The Houston Astros counter Eric Hurley with pitcher Brian Moehler. Moehler has done some good things this season but more often then not, he hasn’t been able to shut-down opposing teams’ batters. His record on the year after starting eight games is 3 and 3. His ERA is 4.35.Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game.

Texas Rangers
Eric Hurley – R + 1 ½ - 190 + 105 O 9 ½ - 120

Houston Astros
Brian Moehler – R - 1 ½ + 160 - 125 U 9 ½ Ev

Here are a few online sportsbook wagering trends that might help us find a good baseball gambling online bet in this game.

The Texas Rangers are 5 and 0 in their last five games following a day off.
The Texas Rangers are 1 and 4 in their last five games following a win.
The Houston Astros are 5 and 1 in their last six games following a day off.
The Houston Astros are 7 and 19 in their last 26 games overall.

The trends point to the Astros coming out and winning this game, but sometimes I get that itchy feeling all over my body that tells me - - okay, maybe it’s a disgusting rash - - but it still tells me to go against the trends.

The trends in this case say ‘Stros, sort of, but I’m not buying it. I like the Rangers to take a step forward in this game and to get two games above five-hundred for the first time since 2006. It would be a nice move in the right direction for Dubbya’s former team.

More importantly, the online betting odds say that the Rangers are the play.

That’s what I’ll do. I will make an online wager on the Texas Rangers to beat the Houston Astros at BetUS online betting odds of – 105.
