The Houston Astros booked a 5-3 victory in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series. They're perfect home at Minute Maid Park here in the postseason, and I predict another Astros victory in front of the home town crowd Saturday night.

Charlie Morton (14-7, 3.62 ERA) will take the ball for the Astros. He has made one appearance at home in the postseason when he tossed five scoreless innings of two-hit ball against the Yankees. Morton was 10-3 with a 3.34 ERA at home during the regular season and Astros are 5-1 in Morton's last six home starts vs. a team with a winning record.

The Dodgers turn to Alex Wood (16-3, 2.72 ERA) who was charged with three runs (all homers) on four hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 3-2 loss against the Cubs in the NLCS on Oct. 18, his lone outing here in the postseason. I'm not sure if that much rest is a good thing and he'll face a very hostile environment at Minute Maid Park.

The Dodgers are 6-18 in their last 24 games following a loss and I think they'll find it very difficult to turn this around at Houston.

My selection is a 10* play on Houston Astros.
