GAME OF THE WEEK (MLB): MIKE'S TOP RATED ASTROS @ RAYS SIDE
(MLB) Houston vs. Tampa Bay, 10/08/2019 3:07 PM, Score: 1 - 4
Point Spread: -1.50 | -137.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
The Tampa Bay Rays fought off elimination with a 10-3 win in Monday's Game 3, but I think they'll come up well short here in Game 4.

The Houston Astros watched the Yankees sweep the Twins last night, and they'll be looking to close this series ASAP to avoid a rest disadvantage for the ALCS.

Houston ace Justin Verlander (1-0, 0.00 ERA) knocked out eight through seven innings of a 6-2 Astros win in the opener of this series, and he is 6-3 with a 2.87 ERA in 10 career starts at Tropicana Field. As for the Rays, they'll open with Diego Castillo who had little success as an opener during the regular season (6.15 ERA in six outings).

The Astros was 12-3 against the runline as a road favorite of -220 or more during the regular season.

10* play on Houston Astros.
