TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY - RUNLINE RIPPER
(MLB) Minnesota vs. Houston,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -113.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
The Houston Astros came out flat and failed to get their bats going in a 5-3 loss to Minnesota in the opener of this four-game series on Thursday. I expect the order to be restored Friday, and the Astros to come through and cover the runline as a big favorite.

Twins right-hander Bailey Ober (1-1, 4.94 ERA) is 0-1 with a 4.43 ERA on the road. Ober rarely pitches deep into the games, he has not pitched past the fifth inning in any of his last 10 starts. Twins' relievers are among the worst in the big leagues.

Houston righty Zack Greinke (10-3, 3.65 ERA) has allowed only four earned runs through his last three starts. The Astros are 8-2 SU (6-4 against the runline) as home favorites with Greinke on the mound in 2021.
