Rotation #911
Astros -105 over Rangers (win)
Verlander/Montgomery
The Rangers won the first two games of the series on the road and were in the driver’s seat, but went on to blow the last two games at home. Game 5 is a pivotal game in which the winner most likely wins the series. Texas has a history of blowing series they were in control of, and Houston has a World Series pedigree team from last year and is used to challenging situations like tonight. Both pitchers are great, but the X factor is momentum. Houston has it. The Rangers don’t. Take the Astros.
