Globe Life boost: 17-9 at home, where they’ve looked locked in. Astros? Just 2 scoring innings in the first 27 of this series. Saturday: 5-1 W. Leiter finding his stride – 6 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 5 K vs COL last start. First career quality start, confident and efficient. Rangers lineup providing real support lately – timely power, key hits from Jung, Pederson, Langford. Houston’s bats still – shut out in G1, 1 run in G3, all quiet outside 1 big inning Friday. Valdez owns a strong ERA vs TEX (2.83), but this year he’s 2-4 – Houston failing to back him up. Last outing: 8 IP, 1 ER, no decision. Doesn’t matter if bats stay this cold. Rangers hungry to take Silver Boot series at home, and they’ve got the edge where it counts.
