The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers start a three-game series Friday night in a rematch of a thrilling 2023 ALCS.
You better believe this first series of the season between these two Texas teams is going to be full of fireworks when the Texas Rangers host the Houston Astros Friday night. The Astros may have won the division but the Rangers won the World Series but there was no love lost between these AL West rivals after Corey Seager mocked Alex Bregman in his World Series parade speech. This in-state rivalry is renewed and will be one of the best to watch all season. The defending champs are off to a good start with a 4-2 record and are coming off a series win over the Tampa Bay Rays on the road where they were so good in the postseason last year. Texas is coming off a 4-1 on Wednesday after a great performance from starter Nathan Eovaldi. The righty went seven shutout innings while only giving up four hits and striking out eight. Texas will hope for a similar start from Cody Bradford tonight who went 4-3 in eight starts last season with a 5.30 ERA in his rookie season.
Game Date: April 5, 2024

Houston is not having the start of the season it was hoping for. The Astros are 2-5 after getting swept by the New York Yankees in four games. Houston came back in a big way though in a great series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Astros no-hit the Blue Jays in the series opener and then shutout Toronto again in the finale 8-0 on Wednesday. Yordan Alvarez hit two bombs and Cristian Javier and four relievers combined for a one-hitter. Toronto only scored two runs the entire series. Houston has the line advantage tonight set at -135.
