This is a 10* on OVER

Houston and Texas have played one another 13 times in 2021. The one win by the road team was last night with Houston coming out on top 5-4. It wasn’t looking good early as the Astros trailed 4-0 going into the seventh. But then they erupted for five runs as six consecutive batters reached base. While we acknowledge Houston had just two hits before that, this is the highest scoring team in the game. They put up 5.5 runs/game on the road and have averaged 6.6 their last seven games. They should get to Rangers starter Kolby Allard Saturday night. Allard has been better this month, but still has a 5.29 ERA and his last three starts have all gone Over. The last time he saw Houston, it was ugly as he gave up seven runs. Texas is playing hard, scoring at least four runs in six of the last eight ball games. If they can do that again, then this game should easily eclipse the total. Framber Valdez has been pretty inconsistent for Houston this year. So while he dominated the Rangers last month, it could be a much different story on the road. The Astros are 7-2-2 Over their last 11 games at Texas. Play on OVER
