Astros own Globe Life – 21-6 in last 27 games in Arlington. Just broke Texas’ 6-game win streak with a 6-3 win Friday. Houston’s confidence rising despite injuries. Peña hitting .306, Meyers producing, lineup finding rhythm. Depth + history on their side. Ronel Blanco trending up – 2.84 ERA & 0.89 WHIP in last 3 starts. Tossed 8-inning gem recently, just 2 hits, 1 run. Astros 9-3 in his last 12 starts. Rangers missing Seager, a huge blow to their top-heavy lineup. Edge to Houston if Blanco settles early. Biggest edge: the bullpen. Astros’ relievers dominant – 1.03 ERA, 0.72 WHIP over last 3 games (26.1 IP). Close game favors Houston late. Seager’s absence + pen issues tilt it HOU’s way.
Under 8.5-120

Mahle’s been untouchable – 1.47 ERA, .179 BAA, just 2 ER or fewer in all 9 starts. Dominates at Globe Life – .205 opp avg. Blanco flashed ace stuff last outing – 8 IP, 2 H, 1 R vs CIN. Owns TEX with 2.74 ERA career. Both bullpens elite – HOU 1.48 ERA, TEX 3.43. TEX offense cold at home – just 3.44 runs/game (26th MLB). No Seager hurts the core. HOU missing Alvarez – big power gap. Despite 6 runs Fri, they’re hitting .249 with .697 OPS. Solid defenses – both teams top 10 in fielding %. Less chaos = fewer runs. Unders cashing hard – TEX 22-8-1 last 31 overall, 19-7 last 26 at home. HOU 12-4 last 16 Sat games. Game 1 of series? 1-0 final. Friday went Over in 9th, but matchup swings back to pitchers. Two strong starters and shaky lineups.
