He has made eight postseason appearances, including four starts, in his career with a 1-1 record and 2.81 ERA. Boston starter Eduardo Rodriguez has a 7.02 ERA in 10 career postseason appearances. Urquidy faced the Red Sox once this year and allowed a run on three hits in six innings and Boston is a combined 3-for-22 against him with no home runs. The Astros are 58-19 their past 77 games after an off day and Rodriguez has given up 12 runs on 13 hits in 9 1/3 innings against Boston this year. Play the Astros on the run line.
