This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Houston Astros.
The White Sox will likely be without the services of slugger Jose Abreu because of injury, he left Friday's 6-3, 11-inning victory with a finger issue. And that's good news for the red hot Dallas Keuchel (6-1, 1.98 ERA) who went 8-0 with a 1.79 ERA in 14 starts before giving up a part of two-run homers and four other hits over eight innings in a tough 4-3 loss at Baltimore on Monday: "You're going up against professional hitters and if you don't locate, even if you get the ball up, quarter inch, inch above what you want, guys can get under that pitch," Keuchel explained afterwards. "I think I still pitched well overall." A date at home is just what the doctor ordered for Keuchel though, as he's 5-0 with a tiny 1.61 ERA in his last eight in Houston (also note that Keuchel still leads the AL in opponent batting average at .190 and ranks among the league leaders in ERA and innings). The visitors counter with Jose Quintana (2-5, 4.67 ERA) who gave up seven runs over six innings in his team's 8-1 loss to Minnesota on Sunday. Quintana has had success against the Astros in the past, but that was then and this is now, I think this is the biggest talent discrepancy on the board today and have no problem at all laying the price on HOUSTON in what will turn out to be a lop-sided rout.
