Astros vs Rangers SGP Picks Today, May 15, 2025

The Houston Astros will be looking to score their third consecutive win on Thursday night, even as +117 underdogs according to MLB lines today when they head to Arlington to face the Texas Rangers at the start of their MLB rivalry week series.
With both teams sending their top aces to the mound, let’s run through tonight’s top game picks, MLB player props, and MLB same-game parlay odds to make bank.
Top 3 Astros vs Rangers Parlay Picks
1. Astros vs Rangers Under 7 (-105)
I could go into a whole spiel on how both offenses don’t offer enough assurance to want to bet the total going over tonight, even if they’ve shown improvements recently. But no, the main reason my first MLB expert pick today is to ride the total going under here is the starting pitchers.
Tonight’s pitching duel between Hunter Brown and Jacob deGrom has everything baseball fans could want. Both aces are coming off dominant performances, with Brown tossing a 5.2-inning, nine-strikeout game against the Cincinnati Reds, while deGrom put up 10 Ks over five innings in a 10-3 win over the Detroit Tigers in his last outing.
Expect pitchers to dominate tonight and bet the total staying low at even odds.
2. Hunter Brown Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+102)
If you haven’t been briefed on how dominant Brown, tonight’s starter for Houston, has been this season, let me keep this short and simple. Brown is by far the best starter in Houston’s rotation and a strong candidate for this season’s American League Cy Young Award.
After tossing nine strikeouts in each of his last four games, his +102 odds to go over 6.5 Ks tonight seems like too good of an MLB prop pick to miss out on, so don’t.
Texas doesn’t chase the ball as much on the plate, but if Hunter was able to fan nine against the Kansas City Royals, a more disciplined team on the plate than the Rangers, he should be able to go for at least seven SOs tonight.
Bet on Hunter Brown Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+102)
3. Jeremy Peña 2+ Hits (+197)
The main reason Houston’s offense continues to show signs of life and improvement this season has got to be shortstop Jeremy Peña. He leads the teams in batting average (.315). RBIs (23), OBP (.385), and hits (51).
Add to that he’s coming into tonight’s game after a four-hit, two-RBI performance last night, and you have enough reason to want to put a couple bucks down on Peña staying hot on the plate for your MLB parlay picks today.
Bet on Jeremy Peña 2+ Hits (+197)
