00:02 - Tell you another great series coming up here.
00:04 That's the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros
00:07 lining this game up.
00:08 Gray will be on the mound here for the Rangers.
00:10 Bielak for the Houston Astros.
00:12 The Astros are home here,
00:13 but at the FanDuel Sportsbook,
00:14 we're showing a slight favorite here towards the Rangers
00:17 at a minus 112 price and a total
00:19 that's listed at eight and a half.
00:22 Once I, again, a three game lead here for the Rangers.
00:25 If they win this series, even if they win it by a game,
00:28 they move up four games over the Astros
00:30 with roughly two months left in the season.
00:32 This is a massive game here.
00:34 Excuse me, massive series right here,
00:36 smack dab in the middle of the season, Joe.
00:38 - It's a huge game here,
00:41 but one also that timing is everything, right?
00:44 In seasons here and boy, oh boy,
00:46 the Rangers are catching an Astros team
00:48 that is not exactly what we have come to expect
00:53 from this Astros team.
00:55 They do hold an advantage in the starting pitching
00:57 in this game here with Gray,
00:59 even though the overall ERA is pretty good,
01:03 but when you look under the hood,
01:06 he's basically a crafty veteran at this point.
01:09 He's limiting some of the damage,
01:11 but the numbers aren't great.
01:13 You kind of feel like at some point
01:15 there are gonna be some blowups here with Gray,
01:18 but for the time being, he's gonna be better than Bielik.
01:22 You gotta trust the bats here of Texas
01:25 to be able to get it done over Houston
01:28 in a monster series here.
01:30 They're at home.
01:31 I get the better offense.
01:32 I get the better starting pitcher.
01:33 And oh yeah, defensively, it's not even close.
01:36 We're talking about a defense here in Texas
01:39 that's top two here when it comes to giving up runs.
01:42 So I think all signs point to the Rangers
01:46 getting this done both early and in the full game.
