I just love Verlander who has lived up to the big games time and time again including giving up 0 runs in the first 5 innings against the Indians to set the tone. He looks to set the tone again tonight against the Redsox who he lost to 5-4 the last time he faced them.

Chris Sale hasn't been himself with 17 baserunners in his last 11 innings pitched. We like Verlander's consistency and proven road record and, the Astros prior success against the Redsox and we look for HOUSTON to grab game 1 on Saturday night.
