Texas Rangers falter in Silver Boot finale at Houston Astros | Lone Star Ball

Christopher Fittz

Lone Star Ball

Texas watched its playoff bid fade as Houston swept, failing to claim the Silver Boot for the first time since 2016 while the Rangers’ rotation and offense stumbled in clutch moments.

Houston closed it out with late bullpen work, capped by Phil Maton sealing the last Astros at-bat. A day off follows for Texas before a final homestand vs. Miami, setting the stage for a sprint to the finish and plenty of fantasy-watchers recalibrating based on DeGrom’s five-run five-inning night, bullpen volatility, and the Marlins series on the horizon.

DeGrom's five-run night vs Houston: what should fantasy managers do with his next start?Is Maton a viable holds option after this game?What does this win mean for Houston’s momentum entering the Marlins series?Which Marlins players could challenge Texas’ pitching in the upcoming series?

Houston Astros completes the sweep, beat Rangers 5-2 | The Crawfish Boxes

Seth Schwartzberg

The Crawfish Boxes

Astros sweep Rangers 5-2 to claim the Silver Boot as part of their continued AL West push. Javier bounced back with six innings and two earned runs supported by Altuve’s go-ahead two-out hit and Peña’s fifth-inning leadoff homer, plus a defensive web-gem from Peña. Kimbrel, Okert and King locked the late frames, with King earning save No. 2. Houston now greets Seattle next, nine games remaining against West foes.

Which Astros hitters emerge as the top fantasy plays down the stretch after this win?How does Javier's bounce-back affect streaming starts going into the Mariners series?Which bullpen arms are potential save options in Houston’s late-season close games?Is deGrom’s slide a signal to fade Rangers’ bats, or does Houston’s rotation re-balance the matchup?

Rangers’ rotation to get boost over weekend with Tyler Mahle’s return from injured list

Rangers’ rotation to get boost over weekend with Tyler Mahle’s return from injured list

Texas Rangers bring Tyler Mahle back to anchor the stretch run, his first big-league action since June 10 after shoulder fatigue. Rehab work at Round Rock showed upside, with a plan to push into the 75-pitch range in his return start vs Miami. If he proves durable, Mahle could solidify a five-man rotation and ease the burden on the rest of the staff, including Latz, while Seager nears a playoff-ready return.

What is the Rangers’ likely rotation outlook after Mahle’s return, and how does that affect fantasy/s betting value?Which Marlins players should worry or benefit most when facing Mahle in his return start?How does Mahle’s injury history influence his short-term fantasy risk and long-term upside?Is Bochy more likely to favor a cautious ramp or push for extended innings with Mahle early on?

With season winding down, Rangers ‘hopeful’ Corey Seager can return for playoff push

With season winding down, Rangers ‘hopeful’ Corey Seager can return for playoff push

Corey Seager nears a late-season return for the Rangers after an appendectomy, but he hasn’t swung a bat yet. He’s jogged, thrown, and done resistance work, with every move guided by how his body responds. Texas sits with nine games left, and Bochy remains hopeful the lineup gets a dangerous, veteran bat back for a playoff push.

With Seager’s status in flux, what’s the best path for fantasy teams in the final week?Which Rangers players gain the most fantasy value from Seager’s return?What are the risks of chasing Seager in DFS if he’s ramping back?How should fantasy managers prepare for a late-season Rangers surge with Seager back?

Wednesday Night MLB Slate: Top Pitchers and Hitters

Wednesday's two MLB DFS slates fixate on pitchers, where price, matchup and ballpark drive decisions. Gausman tops the heap at $9,000 with solid recent form and a favorable park, while Luzardo and Ragans offer high-upside if you stomach risk. Gil and Weathers present cheaper pivots, though Gil's control and deGrom's homer issues temper expectations. Offense leans Royals value with Witt and Pasquantino, plus Adolis Garcia and a Padres-Mets stack featuring Tatis, Machado and Merrill. Marlins at Rockies adds Coors intrigue.

Which pitcher gives the sharpest upside on this slate and why?Which hitter pairing has the highest expected upside tonight?What is the best strategy to handle Coors Field in this slate?Which pitcher offers the best cash-game viability on this slate?
