- Analysis
- This is the time of the season where teams in the American League West look nothing like what they appeared to be in May, and we may see three or four different division leaders. The Texas Rangers lead the West by one-half game, over these same Astros, who have won three in a row and eight of nine. During their 8-1 win streak, the 'Stros are hitting .248, slugging .440 and have scored an average of 5.6 runs per game. Now they welcome a division rival to Houston for a weekend set? Yeah, the Rangers are in trouble. The Rangers arrive in Houston for their fourth straight road game in as many days, after losing the last two nights in Tampa. Take Houston.
