The Houston Astros should be well up for Game 3 of the series after dropping the first two matchups. Tonight they hand the ball to left-hander Wade Miley (7-4, 3.28 ERA) who has held Texas to a pair of runs on as many hits with seven Ks over six innings this season.

The Rangers turn to left-hander Mike Minor (8-4, 2.54 ERA) who has held the Astros to a 2.25 ERA over two starts this season, but Yuli Gurriel (7-for-18, two homers) and George Springer (9-for-20, home run) a couple of Houston hitters with good numbers off Minor.

We can also note that the Rangers are 1-5 in Minor's last 6 home starts vs. a team with a winning record while the Astros are 38-15 in their last 53 road games vs. a left-handed starter.

8* play on Houston Astros.
