Premium Pick

Defending champion Houston is an MLB-best 28-11 on the road while riding a 10-game win streak. The Astros have scored 74 runs during their streak, winning 7-3 and 10-2 in the first two games of this series. The Astros are a powerhouse on offense, tops in runs scored, second in on-base percentage, and on a 24-7 run away from home. Houston is on a 26-10 run overall, plus 38-18 on the road. Meanwhile, slumping Kansas City is #27 in runs scored, #25 in on-base percentage, and #27 in slugging. The Royals have scored just 28 runs in 14 games this month. Kansas City is a miserable 10-25 at home, riding a 1-11 skid overall. And the Royals are 5-24 versus a team with a winning percentage above .600. Play Houston.
