Baseball futures on Sunday offer the war of Texas as the Rangers host the Astros.
The Rangers are preferred at home even though Roy Oswalt is expected to start for Houston.They have been 1 of the hottest clubs in major league baseball betting at the online sportsbook in the past couple of weeks.
The Astros still get respect when Oswalt is on the mound, though baseball futures don’t favor the Astros quite often. He is 5-9 on the season though his ERA is 3.08. He is expected to be opposed by Tommy Hunter in this finale of a three-game series. It’s the last game of a 6-game home stand for the Rangers.
Oswalt has not had a lot of luck lately as his squad simply does not score him plenty of runs. He has had to face San Francisco and Tim Lincecum three times and even though he pitched well, that hasn’t gone well for him. Oswalt has 13 quality starts and has gone seven inning or more in 4 straight starts. In June his ERA is 2.25 yet he has quite little to exhibit for it.
Texas has claimed all 4 of Tommy Hunter’s starts ever since he came back from the Minor Leagues. Last time out, he held the Pirates to three runs in 6 innings. He is 3-0 with a 2.14 ERA in three starts at home.
The Rangers had won eight of the last ten against the Astros before this series commenced. The clubs met in Houston earlier this month and the Rangers won all three matches. Last season the Rangers took 2 of three in Texas against the Astros in baseball wagering.
In terms of baseball futures, there’s not much to like about the Astros. Their greatest pitcher is Oswalt and they can not even win for him. Houston hasn’t been able to win regularly at home or on the road. Their hitting is terrible and other than Oswalt, their pitching is not much better.
The Astros came back from their sweep due to the Rangers last weekend to take the final 2 matches of their three-game set with the San Francisco Giants. On Thursday, Hunter Pence hit a three-run home run to assist Houston win the series with a 7-5 win at Minute Maid Park. Pence seems even more experienced now that the Astros have called up three minor leaguers, catcher Jason Castro, outfielder Jason Bourgeois and 3rd baseman Chris Johnson. The moves came after a Rangers sweep in Houston the past weekend that slipped the Astros’ record to 26-44.
For much of the season, Texas has been fantastic in baseball futures. This home stand has been quite good and Texas has pulled out to a nice lead in the American League West. The Rangers have an offense that is 3rd in the league in runs scored. The Rangers are riding Josh Hamilton’s bat to victories, since he has been red-hot of late. Texas are just outside the leading ten in ERA, so they’re even getting some pitching.
