HOU 8, TEX 5

I turned the game on in the second inning and already had an answer to the question in the previous entry; a rusty Scherzer spotted the 'Stros three runs early, and the Rangers kept pulling closer, but then Houston kept pulling away. 

A couple somewhat quiet Houston picks perked up a bit points-wise; meanwhile, Seager seems to have gone cold since the DS. 

Points!

Altuve 
Alvarez 2
Diaz 0
Tucker 2

Seager 0
Semien 0


Small rearrangement of the money as a result, with the Altuve pickers getting a bit closer to the action. Crase still has a hammerlock on the lead, but if the Astros can stay in this, things get a lot more interesting for the pool...

88 Crase
67 YOLO Joe and SDB 2
66 Wonsetler

51 Yuhan

47 Bingham 1
45 SDB 1
44 Dunn
43 Bauer Spoon and Fell

39 Stempel
33 Quinn

27 Tormey and MArbour 2
26 LyonCorn and MArbour 1
25 Cayenne 2 and Bingham 2
20 O'Reilly

19 Richardson
18 Cayenne 1
11 Cameron


Doubleheaders the next couple days, with PHI/AZ leading off at 5:07 PM ET tomorrow on TBS, HOU/TEX the nightcap on FS1 at 8:07.

I guess nice to see a potentially competitive series (losers have only won 2 games total through the wild card & divisional rounds!)…but not so much when it’s Houston mounting the comeback 🤢
