Blanco plays better on the road with an ERA of 1.98. He has won his last three starts and has pitched a clean game in his last two starts. His strikeout rate has increased and he has given up very little in the way of homeruns. He is the better pitcher versus Quintana who has an ERA of 4.58. The Astros are hitting lefties better now that their offense is clicking. Houston are 9-1 straight up in their last 10 games against the Mets. Houston is trying to catch the Mariners in the AL West and they should continue to roll in this spot. The Mets are 5-12 against the money line in home games after a win by 4 runs or more over the last 2 seasons. Blanco is 7-1 straight up in night games this season. The Astros have the better lineup, pitcher and bullpen over the Mets and should win this game.

Best bet: take Houston on the moneyline (ML).
