This is an 8* play on the Astros.

I'm going to lay the price here on the home side and expect it to dig deep and deliver after losing 3-2 as a -140 favorite.

Lance Lynn has always had a hell of a time against the Astros, as he's 0-5 with a ballooned 8.80 ERA over his last five starts vs. Houston.

Christian Javier is worth the price of admission here. Over 30 appearances for the Astros last year he finished with a tiny 2.54 ERA. He's only faced the White Sox once in his career (last season), and he gave up one run with five K's over five innings in a 4-3 victory.

I expect another victory here today as well. Lay the price, the play is the ASTROS.

Good luck, NP
