Rangers vs. Astros Game 7 MLB Betting Prediction
Game seven will be the twentieth matchup between these two this season. Expect a conservative approach. In the playoffs only moments of separation have been found. Runs come in streaks as some pitchers have seemed to get significant control. The total has gone over five times in the series. Game seven tightness will cause the game to bottle up or crack open. Bet the under.
