The Astros come into their series with Boston having their 11-game winning streak broken on Saturday, not to be deterred, they started another one on Sunday. The Red Sox were able to take two f three ver the weekend but are coming off a bad loss on Sunday. The Astros will look to keep their new streak going by sending Jake Odorizzi to the mound. ver his last three starts, he has allowed just one earned run in 17.2 innings overall and has posted a 3.38 ERA overall. Boston will counter with Garrett Whitlock on the mound. He has made four starts in 8 appearances with a 2.19 ERA and a .93 WHIP.

The Astros have won 16 of their last 19 and are doing it both at the plate and on the mound. The Red Sox offense has been struggling at the plate. The Astros should be able to chase Whitlock earlier than the Sox would like as their bullpen was hit around yesterday by the Rangers and is not very good.

Play on Houston. This is a 7* play.
