Rangers vs. Astros Best Bets
Monday, September 5, 2022 - 7:10PM ET
PICK: Jose Altuve Over 1.5 Total Bases (+125)
The Houston Astros begin a 3 game home series with the Texas Rangers tonight at Minute Maid Park, so wth that in mind, you might want to get in on our exclusive BetMGM offer ➡️ here ⬅️ where you get $20 free and a risk-free bet up to $1,000 if you're a new customer.
Houston is coming off a weekend series in Anaheim as they won 2 out of 3 from the Los Angeles Angels.
The Astros sit atop the National League West with a 10 game lead over the Seattle Mariners. Houston also has the best record in the American League at 86-48.
The Stros will face Texas Left Hander Martin Perez tonight, who is having a fine season.
In 26 starts Perez is 10-5 with a 2.89 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. He has faced the Astros 4 times this season and he is 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP.
As a team, the Astros are hitting .248 against lefties and they average 4.89 runs per game.
One Astro hitter, in particular, loves hitting against southpaws and that's Jose Altuve. Jose is 16/54 lifetime against Perez with 9 doubles. Altuve is hitting .333 vs lefties this season with an ISO of .368.
He has also cleared 1.5 Total Bases in 7 of his last 10 games and 29/55 home games this season. In 11 games against Texas this season, Altuve is hitting .326 with an ISO of .302 and has cleared this mark in 6 of those games.
I'll take this plus money price for Altuve to hit his Total Bases prop tonight in a favorable matchup, so bet Jose Altuve Over 1.5 Total Bases (-125) with BetMGM.
