This is a 6* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Houston Astros.

Jamie Barria has been solid for the Angels, but Justin Verlander continues to defy the odds and he seems to be getting stronger as the season continues. We think Barria is in over his head here. Barria (8-7, 3.41 ERA) earned a no-decision against the Rangers on Sunday after giving up one run over five innings. As mentioned above, Barria's been great, but Verlander (12-8, 2.65) has been exceptional. Particularly of late. Note that Verlander comes in off back-to-back strong outings and he's now 10-2 with a 2.09 ERA on the road. Look for HOUSTON to find a way to get the job done in this favorable matchup and lay the price.
