At 77-41, the Houston Astros have dealt with injuries all season but have gotten a lot healthier, and with Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, and tonight's starter Gerrit Cole in the rotation, they look like the best team in baseball. The Astros are now 16-3 in Cole's last 19 starts and have a +12% ROI in all of his starts. Houston is also now 19-4 when he starts vs. a losing team and have averaged winning those games by 3.26 runs per contest. This line will scare some away, but it is all about the value and not the number, and this one has value. Play on Houston.
