The Houston Astros take on the Kansas City Royals. This will be the third game of the four-game series. Houston has been able to take the first two games. Houston took two of three when they met back in June. The Royals are 3-7 in their last ten games. Brad Keller is expected to get the call for the Royals. He is 3-9 this season with a 4.24 ERA. The Astros are 9-1 in their last ten games. Cristian Javier will get the start for the Astros. He is 6-3 with a 2.58 ERA this season. He has not allowed more than a single run in any of his last three starts. Both of the first two games have been close but with Javier on the mound, you don't expect the Royals to score too many runs. Houston will score enough to easily cover the run-line.

Play on Houston minus 1.5 runs. This is a 6*play
