The Houston Astros are not going down without a fight, a message made crystal clear last night after plating 5 runs in the first 4.0 innings, making it a short night for future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer. The momentum has shifted, and even though the Rangers are home for 2 more games, Houston fans made their presence known in Game 3. With the win last night I like the Astros chances to even the series tonight and guarantee at least 1 more game in Houston.

Astros ML (+100)
The Rangers may be up 2 games to 1 in this series, but it feels like it could easily be the other way around if not for a Nathan Eovaldi Houdini act in Game 2 where he worked his way out of a bases-loaded 0 out jam in the fifth inning. The Rangers would go on to win 5-4, but they escaped by the skin of their teeth. Game 3 was all Houston, as they took an early 4-0 lead, finishing the game with 12 hits and 17 hard-hit balls. I foresee that offensive success rolling over into Game 4, especially after seeing better at-bats from both Jose Altuve and Kyle Tucker who have struggled this postseason. If there's one thing the Astros did well this season, it was hitting against left-handed pitching, and luckily for them, Andrew Heaney is toeing the rubber for the Rangers.
