T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - ML

Justin Steele (6-0, 1.82 ERA) vs. Cristian Javier (3-1, 3.47 ERA)

I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. As the Cubs have started to fall off a bit, the defending champs are slowly starting to climb the standings. Off Sunday's win, against the White Sox, the Astros have now won five of their last six games. Their pitching has started to come alive, and the bats are heating up. Steele has been phenomenal so far this season, don't get me wrong, but I believe that it's about time for him to see that first loss this season. Houston's definitely capable of putting up some runs, and they love seeing left handed pitchers. Expect a gem from Javier as well. Get the best line available and cheer on the 2022 champs at home.

T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Astros.

Line: -155
