Houston Beats Place With Home

Baseball Betting Lines

Laynce Nix went 4-for-4 with a home run for the Nationals, but left the game with an Achilles injury and may not be able to play tonight. Washington fell a game under .500 at 40-41.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Texas Rangers try to continue their mastery of the Houston Astros this evening when the Lone Star State rivals resume a three- game set at Minute Maid Park. The Rangers have won four straight Silver Boot trophies, awarded annually to the victor in the interleague matchup between the two clubs each year. It hasn't been much of a rivalry, though, lately, as Texas took two of three from the Astros earlier in the year and has won the season series in each of the last two years by a 5-1 margin, while compiling a 13-3 mark against their in- state rivals since the start of the 2009 campaign.

 

C.J. Wilson (8-3) worked seven strong innings to earn the win, giving up a pair of runs on seven hits while fanning three and walking two. In addition to his work on the mound, Wilson also ripped a triple.

 

Michael Bourn had a pair of hits, including a triple, for the Astros, who have lost four games in a row and seven of their last eight. Houston has also lost seven in a row at home and another loss tonight would give the Astros their first eight-game skid there since a franchise-record 11-game slide July 23- Aug. 17, 1966.

 

Getting the call for the Rangers tonight will be righty Colby Lewis, who is 6-7 with a 4.44 ERA. Lewis was terrific last Wednesday against the Astros, scattering three hits over seven scoreless innings. He didn't get a decision in that 5-3 loss, though.

 

Lewis has faced the Astros six times (three starts) and is 1-1 with a 1.78 ERA.

 

Myers has yet to receive a decision in two starts versus the Rangers, but has pitched to a lofty 7.88 ERA in those outings.

 

Philadelphia opened the season with a star-studded rotation of Lee, Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt and Joe Blanton, but both Oswalt and Blanton are currently on the disabled list. That has given the young Worley a chance to start and he has responded with two solid outings since joining the rotation on June 18.

 

The Red Sox will be happy to face any other pitcher than Lee, who hurled his third straight shutout in last night's 5-0 Phillies victory. The former Cy Young Award winner took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and allowed two hits and two walks to finish June with a 5-0 mark and 0.21 ERA.
