10* UNDER Rangers/Astros (ASSASSIN)

What do you base your Over/Under picks on? Do you simply look at the offensive and defensive averages of each side, then make an educated guess based on the line, or do you delve a little deeper? From a situational stand-point, I think this one sets up super well for a lower-scoring "duel." Both teams have played A LOT recently, and each finally had the day off yesterday (the Astros had to play 19 games over 18 days, while the Rangers also played 18 consecutive games before having Monday off.) More than anything though, both these starting pitchers have been "on point' and enter on top form. The Rangers' Martin Perez is 9-2 with a 2.47 ERA this year. He's 2-0 with a 1.44 ERA over his last 4 starts and he's 1-0 with a 0.56 ERA in in two starts vs. the Astros this year. His counterpart Jose Urquidy is 10-4 with a 3.62 ERA this year overall and 5-1 with a 2.29 ERA over his last nine starts, and 4-0 with a 2.04 ERA in 6 career outings against Texas. No need to overthink this one; this one has "duel" written all over it, so the play is the under!
