Free Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers MLB Prediction:
This matchup of Texas rivals will always be exciting. I am taking the Rangers in this one at home. I figured that is Darvish were to get beat around, he would’ve had that in an earlier start.
I believe he is here to stay.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Rangers -1.5
Look for Darvish to lock down this top half of the lineup for the win and the Rangers lineup will be able to give enough support in Arlington.
