T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline

Proj Starters - James Paxton (7-3, 3.34 ERA) vs. Cristian Javier (8-2, 4.49 ERA)

I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Although Javier's ERA has gone up a bit over the past few games, let's not forget that this guy has been dominant for a few seasons in a row now. He still owns a great 8-2 record and he's pitching for one of the best lineups in baseball. Boston has been hot, don't get me wrong, but Paxton is starting to show signs of fatigue. He's giving up more homers and I expect that to raise his ERA come the end of the season. I've got the Astros winning game one of this four game series.

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Astros.
