Baltimore at Houston

It was just a matter of time before the surging Houston Astros would force the odds makers hand, and post them at excessive odds. The Stros are on a seven game winning streak, all as an under dog, and now face the Orioles as a solid favorite. A week ago this line would have been reversed, so I see line value here on the Birds. The Orioles have dropped four straight games, and will be hungry for a win here to get bck to the .500 mark. Baltimore has an impressive 12-5 mark in their last 17 games in game three after having lost the first two of a series. Tillman has come up huge in this spot leading the O's to a 17-4 mark in his last 21 starts as a road dog. Houston is an unimpressive 3-13 behind Kuechel when he has an extra day of rest. Make the play on Baltimore.
