The combination of two of the best offenses in baseball facing starting pitchers not in good form puts me on the Over.

The Astros led the majors in runs and batting average. The Red Sox had the third highest batting average and ranked fifth in runs.

Boston is starting Chris Sale, who was last seen giving up five runs on four hits in just one inning against the Rays. Sale didn't pitch well either during his final regular season start against the Nationals pulled in the third inning. He's not backed by a strong bullpen either.

The Astros are swinging hot bats averaging 7.7 runs in their last seven games. They have scored at least six runs in each of these games.

Framber Valdez gets the start for Houston. He wasn't impressive in his last playoff start surrendering four runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings against the White Sox. Valdez has allowed eight runs this month in only 9 1/3 innings. The Red Sox have scored five or more runs in six of their last seven games.
