After winning 4 straight series, the Astros have already lost the 1st series against the Rangers by dropping the 1st two games 16-8 and 6-2.  The two consecutive losses dropped the Astros back to 3rd place, 2.5 games behind the 1st place Cubs. 

The Astros have drawn a pretty good pitcher in Kason Gabbard today...  Gabbard has pitched well but has only recorded 1 decision this season.  In Gabbard's 6 starts this season, he has yet to give up more than 3 runs in any outing... the problem with him though, is that he has only pitched 6 innings or more in 2 of those starts.  The Rangers are 5-1 in games started by Gabbard.
