Scoring runs has not been a major issue for either the Houston Astros or Texas Rangers. The difference between the two American League West rivals is run prevention.

Astros pitching is among the best in the major leagues, while the Rangers rank in the bottom third among all MLB teams in runs allowed.

The task doesn’t get any easier for the Rangers’ staff as it faces the challenge of a two-game series starting Tuesday against the division-leading Astros at Arlington, Texas.
