Before making any Rangers vs. Astros picks, you NEED to see the latest MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model. 

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It went 331-285 on top-rated MLB money-line picks (+357) over the past two seasons, and it finished the 2022 MLB season on a 20-14 roll. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns!

The model knows Texas right fielder Adolis Garcia is a smooth playmaker for this club. Garcia has a rocket of an arm with a knack for smacking line drives. The 30-year-old has been spraying the ball across the field. He's leading the team in both home runs (3) and RBI (14). He's recorded a hit in four of his last five games. 

The model also knows Houston left fielder Yordan Alvarez owns outstanding hitting ability and power. Alvarez can drive the ball anywhere on the diamond and be a consistent run-producer. He's first in the MLB in RBI (20) with four home runs and a batting average of .292. On April 10 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Alvarez was 3-of-4 with a double and two runs driven in. 

Now, it has set its sights on Rangers vs. Astros. We can tell you the model is leaning Over on the run total, and it also says one side of the money line has all the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any NBA picks.
