T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Money Line

Proj Starters - Christian Javier (7-2, 4.39 ERA) vs. Jack Flaherty (8-6, 4.28 ERA)

I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. After beginning the season with the Cardinals, Flaherty finds himself in a battle to be a postseason starter with the rest of the O's rotation. He's been solid this season, but has had his rough patches. Now, he'll go up against the defending champs, who are primed for another deep playoff run. Javier has been excellent this season. He owns an outstanding 1.42 ERA in 12.2 innings against Baltimore. Getting Javier at an underdog price is just too good to pass up.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Astros.

Line: +105

Line Parameter: play until -135..
