This is an 8* SITUATIONAL BLOWOUT on the Astros.

Two hopeful starters going head to head here. Two really talented line-ups.

Honestly it would not be difficult to write a convincing argument for either side to win here, but the difference for me is that Houston is winless so far after going 0-4 here to the Yankees to open the season.

They uncharacteristically left 34 baserunners stranded, while also going 8 for 41 with runners in scoring position.

Look for the now desperate home side to risk life and limb to secure the victory here in what I feel is a great price.

The play is HOUSTON.

Good luck, NP
