Money Line: -130.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Win
I rarely go against the Rays. I have tremendous respect for them and their manager, Kevin Cash.
However, I have no respect for Michael Wacha. I think he's terrible. So I'm going to fade Wacha and his 3-5 record and 5.49 ERA and back the Astros knowing there are favorable angles backing Houston.
Such as: Houston is 54-18 (75 percent) following a day off. Houston also gets up for the best competition going 11-3 the past 14 times versus an opponent with a winning percentage above .600.
The Rays have had problems when playing at Houston losing five of the past six times there.
The Astros are going with Jose Urquidy, who is 8-3 with a 3.56 ERA. He's superior to Wacha, who has a 6.14 career ERA versus the Astros having made two relief appearances against them. Wacha has a fat 5.82 ERA during his last 12 overall starts.
