And today, we have just touched down at Houston, specifically the Minute Maid Park, in anticipation of a fierce clash between the Astros and the Rangers. The Astros will host the struggling Rangers on 25th July as they aim to maintain what has been a fantastic season for them. They already sit at the top of the AL West while their counterparts, the Rangers, remain at the bottom.
The Astros still remain top of the AL West table
In their most recent match, the Astros lost 4 - 5 to the Cleveland Indians; hence they'll be looking to recover. Putting this loss aside, the Astros have been outstanding this season. They have recorded 58 wins from 97 matches with a winning percentage (.Pct) of .598. Besides, they have won three of their last five matches, which is not that bad.
The Rangers aiming to recover from a series of losses
The Rangers are still experiencing what they may consider as one of their worst seasons ever. They have lost nine of their last ten games, and they have a winning percentage (Pct) of .365. This has left them at the bottom of the AL West table. With these statistics, they will find it quite hard to beat the Astros, who are having a relatively better season.
The Astros vs. The Rangers H2H
Looking at the last ten matches between these two teams, you can see some form of balance - the Astros have won six and lost four times. This shows that each team will approach this game with a winning mentality; whichever team will win is likely to do it with a slight margin.
