Boston Red Sox vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I might take a stab on the Rangers here but I’m probably staying away in reality. Houck did well in his last start versus the Astros, notching one earned in 6.0 innings. Prior to that however, Houck had nine earned over 11.0 innings in a pair of losses.

On Tuesday the Rangers scored all four of their runs in the sixth inning and the bats were pretty quiet otherwise. The significant damage was limited to a couple of innings on the mound though. I’m still staying away, but I could see a Texas W here if everything falls into place.
