The set-up: The Rangers are struggling in every facet. Especially with starting pitching, offense and their bullpen. That doesn't bode well here facing the hard-hitting Astros. It's also bad news for struggling starter Mike Foltynewicz (1-3, 4.50 ERA), who gave up four runs over 6.2 innings in a loss to Seattle in his last outing.

The pick: Cristian Javier allowed five earned runs in his last outing, but he's still 3-1 with a 2.90 ERA this year. Also note, while 0-0 with a 5.49 ERA on the road, he's 3-1 with a 2.04 ERA at home. Look for Javier's home dominance to continue here and lay the price with confidence.

This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING DOMINATION on the Astros.
