T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - ML

Christian Javier (1-0, 3.27 ERA) vs. Mitch Keller (1-0, 3.86 ERA)

I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Yesterday, the Astros took care of business in a much needed win (I had them) for their ball club. Today, they've got another favorable pitching matchup and I'm jumping all over it. Javier is a beast. He was dominant last season and I expect him to be just as good, if not better this year. Keller has had two solid starts to begin this season, but I haven't really been impressed another than his K/9. He's been rattled a bit in both games and I think that the defending champs could rattle him some more here today. Oneil Cruz' injury is going to hurt this Pirates team and kill their momentum. Grab the Astros here again today.

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Astros.

Line: -170
