The Rangers are coming off three losses to Oakland on the road, but they have Lewis taking the mound today, who has a 2-0 record with a 3.12 ERA. Houston counters with McCullers, who was hit hard in his only other start this season, giving up 5 runs in 4.2 innings of work. Look for Texas to come in strong after being embarrassed in Oakland. They should be able to get to McCullers early and then pick apart the Houston bullpen.
