Rangers-Astros: More Than First Place Is on the Line [V4oH9DcF5k1]
Texas saved Nathan Eovaldi for Houston, and this series carries more than the half-game division lead. The Astros enter with a 6-4 season-series advantage. Texas can win two of three and leave Houston in first place, but only a sweep takes away the tiebreaker. That same rule handed Houston the 2023 AL West title and first-round bye. With the current Wild Card race this crowded, the cost could be even greater this time. The Rangers do not just need a good weekend. They need to take away the edge Houston could carry into October. #TexasRangers #Astros #MLB #MLBNews #Baseball #ALWest #NathanEovaldi #RangersBaseball #TexasRangersBaseball #MLBHighlights #Rangers #HoustonAstros
