Houston had won five of six before losing its past two games against Seattle and the Yankees, who will start Carlos Rodon tonight. Rodon was clobbered for seven runs on eight hits in four innings against Baltimore on Thursday and Houston hitters have a .782 OPS in 80 at-bats against him. His team's record is 2-7 when he starts against opponents with losing records the past two years and his teams have lost 14 of his past 21 starts. Spencer Arrighetti got off to a rough start in the majors, but he has settled down and the Astros won his last outing 8-2 over Cleveland when he gave up two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings. Houston is getting good value in this matchup and take the Astros as a Max Play.

Result:
LOSS
LOSS
Houston has won five of eight and is 31-17 as an underdog, including 27-12 as a road dog. The offense is seventh in the majors in on-base percentage and ageless Justin Verlander (2.08 ERA) is throwing well. The Astros are 30-14 against teams with a bullpen ERA of 3.00 or better, plus 25-10 a road dog of +150 or less. New York starter Luis Gil allows too many free passes (20 in 31 innings). The Yankees are 21-31 after two or more straight wins and 9-15 at home after winning three of four. Play Houston as a Max Play.
