The Tampa Bay Rays have taken the first two games and can all but guarantee a place in the World Series with another win today. The Rays are an impressive 7-2 in this postseason but what is more impressive is the fact that they have allowed two or fewer runs in five of those nine games. The Rays pitchers are giving up an average of 1.3 runs in their last three games. They will look to keep things going with Ryan Yarbrough taking the mound. This season he posted a 1-4 record with a 3.56 ERA. He is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA and two strikeouts in his postseason career.

This is a must-win game for the Houston Astros if they hope to win this series. The Houston Astros have lost three of their last four games and have scored just three runs in this series. It is not like they have not had their chances, the Astros have left 21 guys on base in the first two games of this series. The Astros will look to turn things around by handing the ball to Jose Urquidy. He is 1-1 with a 2.73 ERA and 17 strikeouts this season. He is 1-0 with a 2.89 ERA and 18 strikeouts in his postseason career.

The first two games of this series have produced very little scoring. Both teams have combined for just nine runs in two games. The Rays’ scored four or fewer runs in four straight games. The under is 4-0 in the Rays’ last four games overall. The Astros have had a ton of baserunners but the Rays’ pitching continues to shut them down. Yarbrough has only allowed two runs in his ALDS start against the Yankees. The under is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams.

Play on the UNDER.
