Houston hosts Texas in a pivotal rubber game at Globe Life Field as Framber Valdez faces Patrick Corbin in a lefty duel. Valdez sits at 12-8 with a 3.40 ERA, while Corbin is 7-9 with a 4.48 mark, spotlighting a low-scoring, pitching-focused tilt ideal for DFS and season-long planning.

Fantasy managers will watch for Valdez's durability and groundball tendencies against a Ranger lineup that leans on power against lefties, and for Corbin's recent volatility offset by a favorable park and lineup. With playoff implications in late-season play, bullpen usage and game script could swing decisions for streaming or benching in daily formats.
