Minnesota at Houston

The Houston Astros were the second best team in the AL for most of the season. They have recently passed the struggling Yankees and if the season ended today they would have a home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs. Houston has won three-straight games, including the first two in their series against the Minnesota Twins who have lost their grip on the AL Central at 62-60. The Twins have lost five-straight games, and are 15-23 in their last 38. The Twins have scored more than four runs in a game just once in their last 12 games, and have produced fewer than two runs a game on average in their last six contests. I like Houston in this one.
