#911/912 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 8.5 Runs – Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros, Friday at 5:07 PM ET - This is high-intensity playoff baseball now with this ALCS now tied up at 2 games apiece as the Astors have rallied from down 2-0 to take both the games here in Arlington to tie this series up. That makes this a very critical Game 5 match-up and you have the same pitchers involved that we saw in Game 1 of this series. That game was a 2-0 Rangers win and, in all likelihood, this will be another tight low-scoring battle here! Verlander and Montgomery were great in that Game 1 battle and we expect more of the same here. Again, you are talking about both lineups possibly being a little tight at the plate in this one. With the series tied up at 2, there is a lot of pressure with the importance of taking this Game 5 as it is a "swing game" in the series. The 3-2 series lead is so critical in a 7-game series. Off 3 straight games that have totaled at least 9 runs with the last two totaling 13 runs each. However, this total is set at 8.5 with good reason. These lineups combined for only 11 hits in Game 1 and we anticipate another pitchers duel here as both Verlander and Montgomery have looked great in their multiple outings in this post-season. Our computer math model projecting 6 to 7 runs here and even if it gets to 8 that is still a winning ticket for us. We are going with the Under in this one.
