The LA Dodgers will have home advantage through the last couple of games in the World Series, but it's the Houston Astros who hold a 3-2 lead and I think they'll claim the title tonight with Justin Verlander on the mound.

Verlander (4-0, 2.05 ERA) has been lights out since coming over from Detroit (9-0 with a 1.53 ERA in 10 total appearances), and the 34 year old must be desperate to finally win the World Series. He allowed three runs on just two hits and a pair of walks in six innings against the Dodgers in Game 2 of the series. The Dodgers will counter with left-hander Rich Hill (0-0, 2.77 ERA) who allowed only one run but three hits and three walks in four innings when pitching against Verlander in that game. Note that the Astros are 7-1 in their last eight interleague road games vs. a left-handed starter.

Hill has struggled to log innings here in the postseason (4, 5, 4), and I think the Astros tremendous bats will be too much to handle.

My selection is a 10* play on Houston Astros.
