This is a 10* TOP AL SUNDAY TOTAL on the UNDER Astros/Rangers.

Texas has won both games to open this series, and each has flown OVER the number.

Houston has now seen the total fly OVER in eight straight. These teams have played to several high-scoring games of late, but I expect more of a duel here in the Sunday afternoon finale.

The visitors go with Cristian Javier, who is 3-1 with a 3.27 ERA. Javier has had a bit of trouble with the long-ball of late, but overall he's been great and his 0.98 WHIP is elite.

The home side counters with Mike Foltynewicz, who is 1-4 with a 5.18 ERA. He gave up five runs over four innings in a loss to the Yanks in his last outing. Note, while 0-2, Foltynewicz does own a sharp 3.61 ERA in both "day" games he's been involved in.

Houston has also seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge two-straight losses in a row to an opponent, and in nine of its last 13 after playing to five or more straight OVERS in a row.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
