Houston failed to sweep the Red Sox in the ALCS as Boston managed to claim Game 3 of the series. I do however like the Astros to go clean here in the ALDS with three straight wins against the New York Yankees.

Charlie Morton will take the ball for Houston. He started Game 4 of ALDS last Monday in Boston and held the Red Sox to two runs through 4 1/3 frames. He does not have great career numbers against the Bronx Bombers, but that's also a reason why we're getting such a great price on Houston in this contest.

The Yankees turn to CC Sabathia. The left-hander will make his third start of the playoffs and was tagged with six runs (four earned) on eight hits and three walks in 9 2/3 innings against the Tribe in the ALCS. Sabathia is 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA in three starts against Houston, but this will be the first meeting of the year and the Astros are playing at a completely different level now compared to previous seasons.

The Yankees might have a slight advantage on the mound tonight, but the Astros bats are too hot to be silenced, particularly Jose Altuve who is 5-for-8 in this series after going 8-for-15 in the ALDS.

My selection is a 10* play on Houston Astros.
