T.M. Selection: Astros (8* TOP-SHELF BLOWOUT).

Yes, Lance Lynn has been great for Texas this year (he's 6-2 witha 2.53 ERA). But so too has Christian Javier for the Astros (he's 4-2 with a 3.33 ERA). Houston is 28-28, but it hasn't yet clinched a playoff spot. It's do or die for the Astros here and I think they'll bounce back after yesterday's loss in Seattle. Note that Houston is 8-2 in its last ten after scoring two or less runs in a loss in its previous outing. Look for the Astros to respond!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Astros.
