Result: Win
#933 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Texas Rangers +115 over Houston Astros, Monday at 8:03 PM ET - Look at the two lines today and tell us nothing is "fishy" here with this one! The fact is one could argue that the Astros, at least based on stats so far in this post-season for the pitchers involved here, have the bigger pitching advantage today than the Phillies.  In that NLCS match-up, Nola has been great but Kelly is also a solid starter.  That said, how are the Phillies nearly a $2 favorite but this line is almost a pick'em when Javier has a 1.69 ERA in the post-season and Scherzer has an 11.25 ERA in the post-season?  Yes...we are saying the same thing here!  How is this possible?  Well the fact is if you look at the prior match-up between these two starters, Scherzer had trouble with 4 Astros hitters while Javier gave up hits to 3 Rangers hitters.  In other words, the difference was not so great!  That said, look at other factors here like the fact that the road team has incredibly won all 6 games in this series!  In fact, the road team is now 9-0 in the Astros last 9 post-season games!  This is a huge Game 7 and yet this line seems funny to us and we look for that road team trend to reach 10 in a row as Houston is eliminated from the post-season.  Texas delivering that huge 9th inning to put the finishing touches on a huge Game 6 win is absolutely going to carry momentum into Game 7 as well.  Texas believes even more now and they can win this thing!  Take the Rangers
