Houston at Los Angeles

Houston plays its third straight road contest dropping four of six after a wild 13-12 loss yesterday as a favorite. They're favored again though starter Cristian Javier has a 5.47 ERA on the road. He's allowed 22 runs and 33 hits in his last five starts (22+ innings). The Astros are 14-21 as chalk of -150 or less, plus 17-25 after scoring 8 or more runs. Los Angeles has plenty of offensive punch, ranked sixth in runs scored, on-base percentage, and slugging. Tyler Anderson has allowed 3 runs or less in four straight starts, including five shutout innings in his lone home start in that stretch. His teams are 21-11 when he faces winning squads. The wagering value is on the home team to win the game or lose by one run. Play Los Angeles on the Run-Line.
