Tampa Bay at Houston

The Tampa Bay Rays came home down 2-0 in their series vs. Houston. Things looked firm facing Verlander and Greinke, but the Rays rose to the occasion to even the series at 2-2. They head back to Houston to face Gerrit Cole. Cole and Verlander have combined to make 29 starts this season in consecutive order, and just two times out of the 29 did they lose both games. Cole has been by far the best pitcher in baseball this season, and the Astros have amazingly won all of his last 23 starts. This is a tough trend to buck especially from a team that won 107 games this season. Play Houston on the runline.
