At 8:10 eastern Rob is using Houston as his Friday night HOT Side. The Astros are in a Massive Non Division home favored scoring system here tonight that plays on winning teams vs a team like NY that scored 7 or less runs last out. These teams have won 41 of 32 times since 2004. NYY has Rodon going and he was lit up last month by this lines getting knocks out in the 2nd innings after allowing 5 runs. Rodon is pitching to a 7.71 Era on the road. Verlander goes for the Stros and he has allowed 3 or les in 9 of his last 10 starts and has a 2.27 Era pitching at home. Look for Houston to take the opener

SU: 31-1
