1* free play on Chicago@Houston to go UNDER the total...

The Houston Astros are still at the top of the AL West, but they've cooled down of late winning just one of their last four games. The Chicago White Sox won the opener of a three-game set at Minute Maid Park 6-3 in extra-innings last night, but we might see a pitcher's duel here this afternoon. .

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The White Sox will give the ball to Jose Quintana (2-5, 4.67 ERA) as he'll seek to bounce back from one of his worst starts of the year. He's had three sub-par starts on the season but has held opponents to two runs or less in six of his nine starts. He's been immense over his last two outings away from home surrendering just two runs on 10 hits while hurling seven innings in both games, and he's undefeated in four career starts against the Astros (all Chicago wins), going 1-0 behind a 3.63 ERA. Houston will counter with its ace Dallas Keuchel (6-1, 1.98) who's been their best pitcher.

2. Chicago Bats- The White Sox are really struggling at the plate, ranking dead last in the American League scoring just 173 runs.

3. X-Factor - Keuchel has been having a fine season so far, and 10 of his last 12 starts as a home favorite have gone under the total.
