Houston has a losing road record and this is its third straight road contest. They are on a 3-9 run losing four of five away from home (losing three of those as chalk). Astros' starter Doug Fister is 5-7 in 12 career starts against the Twins and has struggled with Brian Dozier (6-for-11, one homer). Minnesota has quietly been on a 7-3 run, cashing six times as an underdog. Twins' righty Jose Berrios recorded his first major-league victory on May 2 as he limited Houston to two runs and three hits in 5+ innings. Minnesota is 5-2 against a team with a winning record and plays its third straight home game of a nice seven-game homestand, so grab the home dog in the first game of this double-header. Play Minnesota.
