(MLB) Boston vs. Houston,
Money Line: 101.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Boston Red Sox.

I like the Boston Red Sox to beat the Houston Astros on Friday and tie up the series 3-3. The Red Sox have been backed into a corner, after getting a 2-1 lead in the series they now find themselves down 3-2 and on the road for their next 2 games where if they lose 1 then they are out. I think they are going to stop the bleeding in this game. The Astros have now won 2 in a row against them and it is very hard to win 3 in a row against the same team in the MLB. The Red Sox were unable to do so when they had the 2-1 lead in the series and I think the Astros won't be able to do so either. Even in the ALDS the Astros were unable to win 3 straight against the White Sox and couldn't sweep them after going up 2-0 in that series. Nathan Eovaldi (11-9, 3.75 ERA) is starting in this game he was the reason for their destruction in the 9th inning when Houston scored 7 runs to tie the series 2-2. That was just 1 bad inning though and he was just a reliever then too. He has started in 3 games this postseason and has pitched well in his starts not giving up more than 3 runs in any of those games and his team went on to win all 3 of his starts including game 2 of this series against the Astros. Luis Garcia (11-8, 3.30 ERA) is up for the Astros and unlike Eovaldi, Garcia has only been a starter this postseason pitching in 2 games and pitching very bad in both. He allowed 5 runs in each of those starts and his team went on to lose both games, including game 2 of this ALCS. I think the Red Sox are going to take advantage of him on the mound here so I like the Red Sox to win this 1 and force a game 7.

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Red Sox.
