The Astros will make their final regular-season visit to Globe Life Park, where they've gone 42-57 all-time, including 2-4 this season. However, the Astros swept the teams' most recent meeting in Houston, outscoring the Rangers, 33-11, in a four-game set in Houston from May 9-12.

Houston won seven of its last eight games to close out the first half with a 57-33 record, tied with the Yankees for the most wins in the AL. Astros starters have allowed a .279 opponent OBP so far this season, which would be the lowest mark in franchise history, besting the 1981 team (.282).

After cutting their AL West deficit to just 4.5 games on the evening of June 28, the Rangers lost six of their last eight games and now trail the Astros by nine games. Rangers starters have posted a combined 6.03 ERA when pitching 6+ days after their last start, third highest in MLB -- only the Giants (6.56) and Mets (6.21) have been worse.

Yuli Gurriel enters the second half on a five-game home run streak, tied with teammate Jose Altuve (April 8-13) for the longest streak in MLB this season. Only one Astros hitter has ever homered in six straight games -- Morgan Ensberg in April 2006.

Since 2017, Joey Gallo has hit 11 home runs against Houston, tied with Oakland for his second most against any opponent in that span (Seattle, 13). Only Oakland's Khris Davis (12 HR) has hit more home runs against the Astros in that span.

George Springer has 15 career home runs at Globe Life Park, his most at any visiting ballpark. His .931 OPS at the park ranks fourth among active players with at least 150 career plate appearances at Globe Life, behind only Mike Trout (1.081), Miguel Cabrera (1.071), and Nick Markakis (.972).

HP - Winters, 1B - Drake, 2B - Muchlinski, 3B - Timmons

Through a first half that featured a pair of double-digit win streaks plus a seven-game skid that shaved what was a 10-game division lead in half, the short-handed Astros kept chugging along.
And now, with 72 games remaining on their schedule plus a 7 1/2-game lead in the American League West, the Astros stand poised to claim their third consecutive division pennant.

Astros visit Rangers looking to widen division lead

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  Lance Lynn had more strikes thrown than words used postgame to describe his major league-best 12th victory, one that got the Texas Rangers off to the kind of start their manager had hoped for coming out of the All-Star break.
The short answers have become as common for the big right-hander as his impressive outings on the mound.
