Cleveland broke out with seven runs in its 7-5 win on Monday night and that equaled its combined total of its previous five games. It's unlikely to happen in consecutive games especially against Hunter Brown, who is 9-3 with a 1.82 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP. Brown has a miniscule 1.01 ERA and a .144 opponent batting average at home, 1.27 ERA and .171 OBA overall in night games. He faced the Guardians once this year and gave up a run on four hits in 5 1/3 innings. The Astros are 32-15 at home and the Guardians have lost 10 of 11 overall. Houston is 7-0 UNDER when Brown starts against teams that allowed at least five runs their previous game. Cleveland is 5-0-1 UNDER its past six road games versus right-handed starters. The Guardians have gone UNDER 14 of 20 and nine of 11 on the road. Take the Astros and the UNDER.
