EARLY AFTERNOON BEATDOWN (7-1 L3 DAYS!)
(MLB) Houston vs. Miami,
Money Line: -129.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Money Line

Proj Starters - Framber Valdez (9-7, 3.30 ERA) vs. Braxton Garrett (6-3, 4.08 ERA)

I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Monday. Off yesterday's loss, the defending champs are still 2.5 games back of the AL West lead. They've got to start winning more and more if they want a shot at the Div Title. Framber, who gets the nod today, has been excellent once again this season. On the other hand, Garrett has also been good. However, the 26yr old lefty (Garrett,) has been quite bad at home this year. He owns a whopping 5.40 ERA which is well above the league average. Expect Houston to knock him around a bit here today.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Astros.

Line: -138

Line Parameter: play until -170..
