T.M. Selection: Houston Astros - Moneyline

Proj Starters - Nathan Eovaldi (12-5, 3.63 ERA) vs. Framber Valdez (12-11, 3.46 ERA)

I like the Houston Astros to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Monday, October 16th. Although Sovaldi's been tremendous so far in these playoffs, I don't believe that the Astros will get shut out again. I also believe that Valdez is in for a bounce back game here against a team that he's very familiar with. Even though this is a best-of-seven, the defending champs need to treat this game like it's must-win time. Expect a big win from them today.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Astros.

Line: -119
