T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline

Proj Starters - Seth Lugo (6-6, 3.49 ERA) vs. Cristian Javier (9-3, 4.65 ERA)

I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the San Diego Padres on September 9th. San Diego has been in and out all season. From a team that I thought that had a chance to win it all, this has been a complete disappointment from them. On the other hand, the Astros are finally back and healthy and I expect them to challenge for yet another World Series. Javier's ERA is slightly higher than he would like. But, he's still got an excellent record. I expect the defending champs to bounce back here after yesterday's loss.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Astros.
