The Red Sox have been a much better team than they were at the beginning of the season. Their pitching has improved considerably. Dustin May will start for Boston, and he has pitched in a lot of low-scoring games. Only four of his past 14 starts have made it OVER the total. Spencer Arrighetti gets the ball for Houston. He has had limited starts, but has had the most success at home, where he is 1-0 and allowed just one hit in six innings of work. The Astros are 37-26 UNDER following a win. Boston on the season has been 14-9 UNDER when facing the AL West. Make the play on the UNDER.
