Astros -105 over Orioles (win)
Alexander/Young
The Astros are in a heavyweight fight with the Mariners for the AL West crown. Neither team wants to leave their playoff hopes up to chance with a wildcard bid. Baltimore sits in the basement of the AL East and would need to go on a serious run with a few divisional teams tanking simultaneously. Not likely. Houston is well equipped to make a long postseason run as they are one of the better teams in baseball against teams with winning records, and it has a solid bullpen. Houston needs to start winning more road games, but we will take them when the moneyline is even, as their bullpen is much more reliable than the Orioles. Take the Astros.
