This is a 10* IL GOM on the Astros.

I think Houston offers great value to bounce back and avenge yesterday's 2-1 loss as a -170 favorite to the Reds in yesterday's series opener.

Note that Houston is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to avenge a home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent.

The Reds have won six straight now, but all good things have to come to an end. I say Cinncinnait finally suffers a letdown here.

These starters are pretty evenly matched, as Hunter Greene is 1-4 with a 4.01 ERA for the REds, while Brandon Bielak is 3-3 with a 4.01 ERA for the Astros.

Bielak though definitely gets the small nod here because of the "home field" advantage, and combined with the above listed "revenge" angle, as I said off the top, I think we're getting great value overall on HOUSTON to bounce back here tonight at home.

Good luck, NP
