The Houston Astros have 102 wins and have clinched home-field advantage for the playoffs. The Astros are 18-6 in their last 24 so playing at home is an obvious boost for this team. Arizona lost 109 games a year ago and is significantly better than that this year. The issue is the Diamondbacks have nothing to play for and are just 3-9 in their last 12. The Astros are 6-1 in Verlander's last seven home starts where he has held opponents to two runs or fewer in all six wins. I think this line is way too short and will make the play on Houston.
