Houston Astros ML over Baltimore Orioles (-130)
Although both teams are playing great baseball right now, this is the time of year when the Astros typically dial things in a bit. This is largely the same team that just last year completely bullied their way through the regular season and finished the job by winning the World Series. For multiple members of this Astros team, it was their second ring. This team knows when to peak and this is the time of year that they typically up the ante.
The Astros are 5-2 in their last 7 games and they appear to have a starting pitching advantage tonight. Framber Valdez will start for the Astros for the first time since he hurled a no-hitter last week. That performance was badly needed as it snapped a rough 3-start stretch. Now Valdez is a good start away from having a sub-3 ERA. Valdez has proven to be the steady performer the Astros need this time of year.
