#908 ASA PLAY ON 8* Houston Astros -155 over Chicago White Sox, Friday at 8:10 PM ET - We like the value here with Houston off a loss yesterday and Cristian Javier on the mound. Javier is off a season in which he had a 2.54 ERA and he was solid in his only start versus the White Sox. As for Chicago's Lance Lynn, he has found Minute Maid Park to be a house of horrors in recent seasons. Overall, even when he faces them as a host, Lynn has struggled. Particularly in Houston though, the numbers are very ugly. He is 0-5 with 23 earned runs allowed in 31 innings the past 4 seasons in his starts at Minute Maid Park. Lynn has allowed 10 homers in those 5 starts at Minute Maid Park. The White Sox got a strong start from Dylan Cease yesterday and that keyed the win but we just do not see a repeat of that here with Lynn on the mound. That said, and considering Javier's ability to dominate starts, this looks like a great bounce back spot for the Astros. We like the Astros to have an early advantage here based on the starting pitchers and grab a lead then handing it off to a top notch bullpen. Yes, they blew the save yesterday but this is very unusual for this team and this bullpen and that is even more reason they respond with a stronger close-out in the final frames of this game. Houston also should hit much better today as, of course, there is only one Dylan Cease in this White Sox rotation (no one else in this rotation is on his level) and of course he will not be pitching today after going yesterday! The Astros, including post-season, have won 10 of the last 12 times in a game following a loss and the value is on Houston here - even at a -155 price.
