Yesterday? 1-0 final. Expect more of the same. Eovaldi: 1.78 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, 3 HR in 55.2 IP. Astros missing Yordan + Leon, lineup thin. Rangers 26th in runs (3.44), .230 AVG. Seager still OUT. Park factor 77 = favors pitchers. Not many runs coming here. Bullpens can hold the line. Houston’s relievers: 1.46 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, #2 in MLB. Last 25 IP? Just 2 runs allowed. Rangers solid (3.08 ERA), recent 4.35 blip but steady overall. Ump Nic Lentz: games avg 6.33 runs, under in 6 of last 9. Quiet game script. Under trending hard. Astros: 25-12-3 to the under on the road. Rangers: 22-7-1 under overall, 19-7 at home. Last 6 H2H? 5 unders, including 1-0 final on May 15. No Seager, no Yordan, strong arms, cold bats. Everything sets up for a low total.
