Verlander is 1.06 era since joining Houston

even before leaving Detroit he caught fire

Crazy that not even a single batter on Red Sox has hit a homer off Verlander in their careers .....

Sale is 5-1 with a 1.31 era against Astros all time


I do like the under here in this match up but I dont like the line of 7 even

puts you in a tough spot as far as balancing the individual teams production

hate the 3-3 score scenario ......

4-3 scenario sucks to as the team down by 1 is going to play small ball in order to push that losing run across

and once again push at best situation there .....

The R+H+E is sitting at 24 which I believe im going to take the under on

Slightly safer then the even number of 7 on the o/u total


These are good lineups that have done poorly in the past against these pitchers

The first 2 innings will be key, I trust Red Sox bullpen more than Astros



Under 24 RHE (-115)
