The Tampa Bay Rays are going to be the top seed in the AL playoffs, so they will have home-field advantage throughout. Houston has clinched the #2 overall seed, so neither team has anything left to play for. I would imagine both teams rest starters, and set their rotations for the playoffs. This type of situation usually benefits the home team and a win here tonight by Houston may serve as a psychological advantage for them should they meet the Rays in the playoffs. A series win here just has more value for Houston, and they are at home. Make the play on Houston.
