If you ever saw the movie with Eddie Murphy called "Trading Places," this game epitomizes the plot. The Houston Astros have owned the basement with 105+ losses in each of their last three years, and that position has been taken over by the Tampa Bay Rays. Houston is 14-6 in their last 20 games while the Rays are 3-14 in their last 17. Jarred Cosart has been magnificent for the Stros, allowing 3 runs or less in nine straight starts, and the soft-hitting Rays may struggle to find runs here against him. The Rays' road woes are well documented as they have fallen in 10 of their last 11 away from Tampa. Go with Houston in this one.

1 unit on Houston +123 (moneyline) (risk 1 to return 2.23)
