Total of the Month - Rickenbach MLB Rotation #969 Monday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Houston Astros vs Boston Red Sox @ 4:10 ET - Astros are the #1 hitting team in the majors for batting average this season. Who is #2 thus far? Yes, you guessed it, the Red Sox. That said, we do have two strong hitting teams matched up here and considering both starting pitchers are likely to struggle I am expecting a slugfest in this one. The Red Sox Eduardo Rodriguez is 1-3 with a 6.48 ERA in the month of May. I know that the Astros Jose Urquidy has better numbers on the season but he is coming off a trip to the injured list and will be making his first start in nearly 3 weeks. The over is 4-1 in Boston's last 5 road games and the Red Sox averaged 6.4 runs per game in those contests. The over is 9-2 in Houston's last 11 games. The Astros averaged 5.2 runs per game in those 11 contests. I am looking for a 6-5 type game here and also like the fact that the over is 3-1 in Urquidy's home starts this season as well as the fact that Rodriguez has a 6.75 ERA in his 4 career starts versus the Astros. More of the same here. 10* OVER the total in Houston
