EARLY Astros/Twins SIDE WINNER (65% ALL L3 DAYS!)
(MLB) Houston vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: 105.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SIDE WINNER on the Astros.

It's just the start of the season, but the Astros are in need of a win here tonight, and after a slow start, I do expect a better performance all around in this one from the visiting side.

Houston dropped the opener of this series 3-2 yesterday. The Twins starting pitching has been phenomenal to open the season, but I say that regression is in order after this unsustainable streak of excellence.

Joe Ryan is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA this year, but note that he's 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in one career start vs. Houston last year.

Houston had a six-game win streak in this series going till yesterday. Luis Garcian is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA for the Astros, but note tha the's 3-1 with a 2.66 ERA in four career outings vs. the Twins.

I look for the hungrier visiting side to avenge yesterday's setback.

The play is HOUSTON.

Good luck, NP
