Minnesota at Houston

Astros rookie southpaw Framber Valdez has been stellar in two starts, allowing just four hits and two runs in 10 innings pitched. He should get plenty of run support from a Houston lineup that is producing 4.9 runs per game and is facing Jake Odorizzi who is just 5-9 on the year. The Twins are 25-47 on the road and average only 3.9 runs per game vs. lefties. When facing good teams this year (.540+), the Twins are just 13-36. The bullpen advantage makes this contest even more lopsided as Minnesota's pen owns a 4.57 ERAS compared to Houston's 2.95. Back the Astros here.
