Houston at Boston

The Boston Red Sox have yet to put away the AL East, and were fortunate the Yankees lost at home to Tampa Bay last night. They are running into a buzz saw once gain, as the hard-hitting Astros are in the zone offensively right now. Houston has scored 11 runs or more in four straight games. It isn't just the hitting as the Astros’ staff has allowed just nine runs over the four games, as they have out-scored their last four opponents by a count of 49-9. This Houston team is also sitting on 99 wins for the season, so you know that winning tonight and getting their 100th win is a big deal for this club. Houston's level of play goes well beyond four games as they are 12-2 in their last 14, and have won by an average of 4.29 runs per contest. It's hard to go against this sizzling team right now, especially at near even odds. Play on Houston.
