Houston Astros vs Texas Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 09/06/25

We continue a key AL West showdown on Saturday night on Fox, as the Houston Astros battle the Texas Rangers. The Rangers won the first game on Friday in extra innings. Both teams used almost the entire bullpen, and that could come into play on Saturday at some point. The Rangers are continuing to play without either Corey Seager or Adolis Garcia, and that has left the lineup quite thin, even if they are finding ways to win despite that. The Astros have recently welcomed Yordan Alvarez back to the lineup, but they have struggled a bit of late nonetheless. Still, I don’t want much to do with the depleted Ranger lineup right now, and I am going with the Astros to win the game and even the series.

The pitching matchup is a great one, as Hunter Brown faces Jacob deGrom. deGrom has been solid most nights for the Rangers, but he has also been severely limited in his pitch count. That, to me, is a problem when they deployed the entire bullpen the night before. Brown, on the other hand, is capable of working very deep into games. Brown has not given up more than 2 runs in a game since mid-July, and I like him to offer his team some much-needed length to take some stress off the bullpen. Putting all of that together makes me favor the Astros, and even better that it is even money as of the time of this writing.
