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

Prior to Texas opening the second half of the regular season with a shutout victory over the division-leading Houston Astros, first-year Rangers manager Chris Woodward spoke of shifting expectations for his club, one surprisingly in contention in what was pegged a rebuilding season.
Woodward intently focused on how the Rangers would adapt to potential roster changes with the trade deadline approaching at the close of this month, a reality that continues to take form with every win.

Rangers eye fast start to second half against Astros

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  Danny Santana had already hit one of the five home runs by the Texas Rangers. With a chance to win the game with two outs in the ninth inning, he lined a ball up the middle and then saw Houston center fielder George Springer on a full sprint toward the ball.
''When I saw Springer going after it ... I think he is going to catch it,'' Santana said through a translator. ''I'm glad he didn't.''
