Jake Bloss will make his MLB debut for the Astros and this is usually a fade situation. His debut is unpredictable and it could go either way, and this will be a tough spot for the young rookie to go up against the best offense in the league. Bloss has a 1.74 ERA over 12 starts in Class A and Double A. Baltimore is one of the stronger road teams with a 24-11 road record. The Astros once again are dealing with some injuries in their rotation and by not being fully healthy, the edge goes to the Orioles who are on a roll and just beat up on the Yankees. Houston is 5-12 against the money line when playing against a top-level team with a win percentage above 62% this season. Baltimore is 14-5 against the money line in road games against AL West opponents over the last 2 seasons. Baltimore are 7-2 straight up in their last 9 games when playing on the road against Houston. Baltimore has a good record on the road in covering the runline, going 24-11 so there is value on both the moneyline and runline.

Best bet: take Baltimore on the runline (RL).
