Houston at Boston

The Boston Red Sox put an end to their five-game playoff slide by winning in comfortable fashion yesterday. In doing so, they have cut the series lead by the Astros to 2-1. They once again face elimination in Game 4 at Fenway. The total here is simply not representative of playoff baseball as just nine times have we seen a total top the 10 mark, and three of those nine were at Colorado where the balls fly in the thin air. Those nine games have seen the UNDER prevail by a 7-2 count, and it has been a decade since we have seen a playoff total reach this level. Both teams have deep and elite bullpens, and facing elimination, it will be all hands on deck for Boston. So the starters could both be on a short leash to get the best matchup at critical junctures of the game. Make the play on the UNDER.
