T.M. Selection: Astros.

Houston won the opener by a score of 7-5, but then it stumbled and allowed the Angels to come back late in last night's 13-12 loss here. But I'm predicting the visitors to bounce back easily here in the finale, as this is a clear starting pitching mismatch. Christian Javier is 7-1 with a 4.34 ERA and 1.22 WHIP for Houston, while his counterpart Tyler Anderson is 4-2, but with an elevated 5.25 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. Houston is 7-3 in its last ten in trying to avenge a road loss as a favorite vs. an opponent, and in what I feel is a lop-sided starting pitching matchup, I look for this trend to be extended. Lay the price here with no worries, the play is Houston.

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Houston.
