They face Aaron Nola of the Philadelphia Phillies, who has struggled with a 6.18 ERA over his last seven starts. -
Astros ML (-138, FanDuel)
After a rough outing against the Tampa Bay Rays, starter Hunter Brown looks to rebound against the Texas Rangers.

Cal Quantrill of the Rangers has a significantly higher home ERA, making this a favorable matchup for the Astros. -
White Sox ML (-161, BetRivers)
