Money Line: -125.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Win
Taking the ASTROS here. Almost want to go RL for +170 in this spot. Verlander has been aces since coming to town posting a 1.06 ERA in his 5 starts with a .65 WHIP and .149 BA against. But this is about Chris Sale. So he has been a -150 or more favorite in 30 of his 32 starts this year. In those other 2 starts as a PK or small -105 fave, he lost. In fact, Verlander out-dueled him 2-1 in April. But the most telling numbers are this. As dominate as Sale is early, the guy is a beast. A sub 2.70 through July. Then it ticks up to 3.22 in August. September and October produce a 11-16 record and an ERA of 3.78. Give me Houston tonight. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS
