This is an 8* play on the Houston Astros.

We like the visitors to come out on top of this one. The Astros hand the ball to ace Justin Verlander (11-8, 2.52 ERA) who comes in off a loss against the Rockies on Tuesday, given gnu two runs over six innings, walking none and striking out 11. Note that Verlander is 9-2 with a 1.74 ERA on the road this year. The home side goes with Sean Manaea (11-8, 3.44) who went 2.2 innings against the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing three runs and five hits with three walks and one strikeout. Manaea's been sharp overall this year, but this latest performance was a big step-back in our eyes. Advantage Verlander, who we expect to continue his dominant run away from friendly confines. Play on the ASTROS.
