Prop Bets: Texas Rangers VS Houston Astros 2025-07-12
Astros vs. Rangers: A Tale of Two Teams (and One Overachieving Underdog)
The Houston Astros (-115) are favored to continue their "we’re the best team in MLB" narrative, but the Texas Rangers (+104) have a secret weapon: Wyatt Langford, who’s being projected to go 1.65-for-4 with 2 RBIs. If he hits a home run, the Rangers might as well start planning their playoff parade.
Key Props to Watch:
- Wyatt Langford (Rangers): Over 1.5 hits (+160). Let’s be real—this is his shot to become the “I told you I’m not just a name” moment.
- Framber Valdez (Astros): Over 6.5 strikeouts (+100). Valdez’s got a 7.3 K/9 this season, so this feels like a gimme… unless he’s having one of his “I forgot how to pitch” days.
- Corey Seager (Astros): Over 1.5 RBIs (-110). The guy’s a machine, but let’s not forget he’s also a dad who’s probably tired after chasing toddlers.
Why the Rangers Might Win:
- Jacob deGrom is starting for Texas. Yes, that Jacob deGrom. If he doesn’t throw a no-hitter, the Rangers are in this.
- The Astros have a 4.4 ERA this season, which is… not great.
Why the Astros Will Win:
- They average 4.4 runs per game. That’s basically a math problem they’re solving every night.
Final Prediction:
This game is a 6.5-run total (-110), and the Astros win 5-3. But if Langford goes 3-for-4 with a double, the Rangers pull off the upset. Either way, someone’s gonna have a story for the New York Post’s “Rangers’ Comeback of the Century” section.
TL;DR: Bet Langford’s hits prop. The rest? Let the gods of baseball decide. 🎲⚾
