(MLB) Houston vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -136.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -136.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: The Astros took the opener 5-1 on Thursday afternoon and I believe an even bigger blowout is in the cards in the second game Friday night.
The pitchers: The Astros turn to Gerrit Cole, who was 15-5 with a 2.88 ERA in 2018. Over five spring starts Cole posted a 2.81 ERA and .179 batting average.
The Rays counter with Charlie Morton, who threw for the Astros for the last few years and who was 15-3 with a 3.13 ERA last season.
The pick: Morton has been fantastic over the last three years, but a new venue and team brings familiarity issues. I like Cole to continue his dominant form and for the hard-hitting visiting side to beat up on its former team mate. Lay the price.
