(MLB) Houston vs. Texas,
Money Line: -169.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Houston Astros (8:05 EST).

Dallas Keuchel was the best pitcher in the World and then his team traded for Justin Verlander 3/4's of the way through the season and Keuchel's never really been the same since. Verlander of course would go on to turn his career around completely and become arguably the best pitcher in the league for a time, while to this day Keuchel has a struggled. Keuchel (4-8, 4.22 ERA) most recently gave up six runs off seven hits over 5.1 innings in a fortunate no-decition to Toronto on Wednesday. Keuchel's been all over the map as far as his game-to-game consistency is concerned this season, but he certainly has the track record and pedigree to get his season back on track. Note that he owns a very respectable 3.54 ERA on the road this year. The Rangers hand the ball to Austin Bibens-Dirkx (1-1, 3.57) who made his fourth start of the year against the Padres on Tuesday and he'd go five scoreless in a no-decision. The 33 year old has looked sharp in his limited time, but we think his early blistering numbers are unsustainable and we're expecting regression immediately. Keuchel has been anything but reliable this year, but we expect the southpaw to come in focused at least. And in our opinion, that's going to be more than enough to tip the scales in favor of the defending champs. Play on the ASTROS.
