Houston bounced back from Friday's loss with a 5-2 win over Minnesota as Yordan Alvarez hit a two-run homer and a solo shot and Framber Valdez took a no-hitter into the seventh. Hunter Brown will try to match that effort and he has pitched better than his record indicates lately allowing only 10 runs on 20 hits in 26 1/3 innings his past five starts. The Astros have won four straight against teams that scored two or fewer runs their previous game. Simeon Woods Richardson will start for the Twins and he has a 4.50 ERA and a .321 opponent batting average in day games this season compared to 1.73 and .183 at night. The Twins are 6-0 UNDER their past six games as underdogs and Houston has stayed UNDER eight games in a row. The Astros are 6-0 UNDER versus opponents with winning records. Take the Astros and the UNDER.
