AL West foes Houston Astros and Texas Rangers are all set to start a new three-game series from Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. The Astros have made some progress after their last series against the Los Angeles Angels and they look forward to continuing their success against the Rangers. Houston managed to secure the second spot in their division for a while with a 19-14 record. The Astros are trailing Oakland Athletics by three games and they are four games ahead of Seattle Mariners in the third. Houston is keen on clinching the division title, but Oakland is not as easy a team to overcome.

From the plate, Yuli Gurriel is the leading batsman with a clip of .292. Gurriel is also the leader in hits with 35.

Houston Astros vs Texas Rangers Predictions 9/1/2020

Texas Rangers dropped further and made things worse with their 12-21 record. The Rangers are struggling to get past opponents and are certainly one of the worst teams in their division. Texas is trailing Seattle Mariners in the third spot by three games and they are seven games behind the Houston Astros. In their last series, Texas won the opening game against the Dodgers but failed to win the remaining. The Rangers have a long way to reach the .500 mark and securing their lost position seems to be a slim chance.

Last night, the Rangers struggled from the mound when they surrendered seven runs and scored just two in return against the Dodgers. Taking the lead from the plate with a batting clip of .271 is Isiah Kiner-Falefa. When it comes to home runs and RBIs, Joey Gallo is the leader with seven and 16. The hit leader with 31 is Nick Solak. Texas will turn in Jordan Lyles as their starter in this game. Lyles is holding a 1-3 record on the season with an ERA of 9.25.
