Houston beat Cleveland three times the last time they met last season. But this one has caught my eye because Hunter Brown has been, let's just say terrible. He has five starts this season and five losses. That's a total of 20 runs allowed. That's 20 runs in five starts. Carlos Carrasco is only a little bit better but the price is right to take Cleveland to win.
The Astros flashed some lumber in the altitude in Mexico City but I am not buying their woes are fixed by a long shot. This has been a bad baseball team with some listless efforts and the new skipper might be over his head. Cleveland has been locked in at the plate and we have cashed several times already this season fading Stros starter Hunter Brown, who provides neither length not quality. At some point Stros pen will gel but I'm not sure it's this week. Love what Naylor and Ramirez are doing in middle of Cleveland lineup from a run production standpoint (45 RBIs between them already).
