00:00The in-state rivalry starts today. A four-game set in Arlington between the Rangers and the
00:05Astros. Really good pitching matchup in this one, at least on paper. Houston sends out its
00:11second ace, if you will, in Hunter Brown. Jacob deGrom, who has won three consecutive outings,
00:16gets the start for the Rangers. Texas has won five straight games, DRS, as they start this
00:22four-game slate against the Strohs. They're a slight favorite at home, minus 122. What do you
00:27like? Yeah, taking a look at the lineups today, and he's going up against Jacob deGrom, who's had a
00:31very good season. A little bit leaky against left-handed batters, but if you're just looking
00:34for Houston Astros as a total, like what I tell you, if Jose Altuve doesn't match up as one of
00:40the worst batters in the lineup, you wouldn't figure that. But over the last 30 days against
00:43right-handed pitching, he hasn't done all that well. But Pena, Paredes, Walker, Diaz, Caratini,
00:49Myers, Desenzo, all have elevated weighted on base percentages here against right-handed pitching.
00:54And then you take a look at on the opposite side with the Texas Rangers. It is a good-looking
00:58lineup there, but Hunter Brown looks like he's been flawless this season. Weighted on base
01:03percentage, ISO power numbers, high K rate, low walk rate, number one on the card today
01:08with a 64 XFIP minus and a 2.65 XFIP number. Astros for me today, baby.
