Houston at Tampa Bay

The Houston Astros failed to close out Tampa Bay in Game 3 as the Rays got to starter Zack Greinke in a 10-3 blowout win. It won't be so easy this afternoon as the Astros send Justin Verlander to the mound. Verlander has led the Astros to a 57-25 record where opponents have averaged 2.8 runs per contest in those 82 starts. That drops to 2.56 if it is a playoff game. Verlander has also won each of his last three starts vs. the Rays where Houston has outscored Tampa Bay 26-4. All three of those starts have come this season. Take Houston.
