Houston Astros over Boston Red Sox: Both teams were off yesterday so no adv there. Houst now has the best record in MLB. 8W in a row 9-1 in their last 10. Bost after a slow start is also playing well. I will rate the offenses equal for this one. TheBost bullpen has been a pleasant surprise so far this year after letting Kimbrel go but Houst still has a small adv. SP Houst has a med adv. The name Porcello still carries much eight from his Cy Young year. However he is far removed from that. His numbers look good but his last 4 starts came against Det, Oak, WSox, and Sea. Tonight is a big step up. Porcello has a 264 BAA and already given up 8 HR in only 44 inngs of work. Cole has 86K in 56 inngs of work and a 199 BAA. Cole has a 3.88 ERA but his under the hood numbers are even better projecting to an XERA of 2.71. I have this game priced at 1.48 giving us excellent value.
