Why bet on the Houston Astros
The Astros have been in the fortunate position of never having been behind in the series overall. They got things rolling with a win in Game 1 before losing home field advantage with a loss in the second game of the series. They nabbed that back with a dominant win in Minneapolis the other night, taking Game 3 by a score of 9-1. This is a team that has a recent history of doing well in the MLB postseason, so they know how to close out an opponent when they have them on the ropes. Houston has now win 10 of their last 15 games against the Twins, and they are also 9-3 SU in their last 12 visits to Minneapolis, as well as being a perfect 5-0 in their last 5 road games overall. They will send Jose Urquidy (3-3, 5.29 ERA) to the mound for this one. Urquidy won his last start and did not surrender a run.

Why bet on the Minnesota Twins
It’s do or die time for the Twins, who have to still be reeling a littler after getting totally hammered in Game 3 in their win building. It had to be all the more disappointing after coming away from the opening 2 games in Houston with a split, which is usually the minimum goal of any team starting a playoff series on the road. It’s not all doom and gloom for the Twins, though, as they have won 11 of their last 16 games overall, plus they did beat the Astros 4-2 in the regular season series. That, though, all tends to be meaningless once we get to the postseason, as it’s often about who can best handle the pressure that comes with postseason ball. The Twins will have Joe Ryan (11-10, 4.51 ERA) on the mound to try and save their season.

ALDS Expert Pick and Series Prediction
I mean no disrespect to Ryan here, but I’m not so sure I would want him as my starter with the season on the line. I think the Astros have the pitching edge here, but I do think we will see a lot of scoring, which is why I am all about the OVER.
