Texas Rangers -140 Jacob deGrom (RHP), Kai-Wei Teng (RHP) Must Start
*This is an official three-star wager for Trent Bets clients
I'll back the Rangers with Jacob deGrom toeing the rubber on Saturday. The right-hander has been superb this season, entering at 3-2 with a 2.62 ERA (20th) and a 0.92 WHIP (9th). His 57 punchouts are the 14th-most in the Majors.
deGrom has owned the Astros since coming over to the A.L. West, holding their current lineup to a slash line of .153/.167/.373 over 59 at-bats. Additionally, Houston hasn't been swinging the sticks well, ranking 22nd in wOBA (.289) with an 81 wRC+ over the last seven days.
The 'Stros are just 2-5 SU in their last seven games, and I don't really see them finding much offensive success against deGrom and the Rangers' third-ranked bullpen (3.11 ERA). I'll take Texas to grind out a low-scoring victory in this rivalry matchup.
Line Parameters: Playable to -165 (62.3% implied probability)
