The Houston Astros have opened the week by outscoring the Texas Rangers 37-7 during a three-game sweep, and I like the price we get on Houston here at Fenway Park Thursday night.

Brad Peacock (12-2, 2.98 ERA) will take the ball for the Astros. He's 0-2 with a 12.38 ERA in three career starts against the Red Sox, but this will be the first meeting of the season and he's without a doubt having his best year ever. Note that Peacock is 7-0 behind a 2.83 ERA in 16 appearances (11 starts) on the road this season.

The Red Sox hand the ball to left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (6-6, 3.91 ERA) who's having a terrific month with just six runs allowed in four starts covering 25 1/3 innings. The Astros are in the zone right now though, and I think they'll be too much to handle for the left-hander tonight.

The Astros defeated Texas 12-2 on Wednesday and they are 7-1 in their last eight after scoring five runs or more in their previous game.

My free pick is on Houston Astros.
