The Houston Astros are traveling to Boston and Fenway Park with a 2-0 lead in this ALDS against the Red Sox. They won both contests home at Minute Maid Park 8-2, and I like the red hot Astros to deliver the goods once again here with Brad Peacock on the mound.

Peacock (13-2, 3.00 ERA) held the Red Sox to two runs on four hits in five innings of a 12-2 win here at Fenway on Sep 28, and he's 8-0 behind a 2.88 ERA in 17 appearances (12 starts) on the road this season. The current Red Sox are batting just .218 through 55 at bats against Peacock.

The Red Sox turn to Doug Fister (5-9, 4.88 ERA) who lost to the Astros during the final weekend of the regular season, allowing three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 3-2 defeat. Fister is 3-7 with a 4.94 ERA in 10 outings (nine starts) at home this season.

The Astros are 14-3 in their last 17 after scoring five runs or more in their previous game and had little trouble to beat up on Boston's top two pitchers in the rotation. They should get to Fister with ease as well. Note that the current members of the Astros have a combined .313 AVG through 83 at bats against Fister.

My selection is a 10* play on Houston Astros.
