The Rangers are coming into this game playing in some high scoring games recently. They have seen at least 9 runs total in their last 5 straight games. Their pitching has not been great as they have allowed 13 runs in their last 2 games, but their offense has still scored at least 5 runs in 3 of their last 5 games. They are going up against an Astros team that has also been playing in a lot of high scoring games recently. They have seen 9 runs total or more in their last 3 straight as well as 5 of their last 7 games. Their offense has been very good in these as they have scored at least 6 runs in each of their last 3 games as well. Spencer Arrighetti is starting for the Astros in this game and he is 4-7 with a 5.96 ERA this season. So far in his 2 starts in July, he has allowed 8 earned runs in 9 innings pitched. He is in his 1st ever MLB season but consistency has been a big issue for him this year, He has had some good starts this season, but it is very rare that he allows no runs in one of his starts, and he also has a lot of starts that he allowed quite a few runs in. The Rangers have been playing much better recently despite their awful season so far and they are going to get up for this game which they should score some runs in. Nathan Eovaldi is starting for the Rangers in this game and he is 6-3 with a 3.10 ERA this season. He only allowed 2 earned runs in his last start and has pitched well in July, only allowing those 2 earned runs in his 2 starts, but he did end June allowing at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 starts. He has also struggled a lot against the Astros over the last 3 seasons as he allowed 5 earned runs against them earlier this season and has done that quite a bit against them in the last 3 years, allowing at least 4 earned runs in his last 2 starts against them. The Astros have been playing great recently and they are trying to chase down the Mariners in 1st place of the division so they are going to finish this run before the break strong and they will be able to score some runs in this game. Between these two sides, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
