Houston at Minnesota

The Houston Astros seem to find their way deep into the playoffs every season. They dispatched Minnesota yesterday to take a 2-1 series lead. Houston has scored 17 runs in the first three games, but the point of separation for these teams is pitching depth. Jose Urquidy will make his 2023 postseason debut for the Astros today, and the right-hander went 3-3 in 10 starts during the regular season, but he carries a career 3-2 playoff record with a fine 3.72 ERA. Urquidy is 0-0 lifetime vs. the Twins, striking out 17 in 15 1/3 innings with a 2.93 ERA. The Twins will bring everything they have, and I think this is going to be a close game one way or the other. Make the play on Houston, on the runline.
