Red Sox over Astros- Boston's Nathan Eovaldi (1-1, 3.15 ERA) has pitched well all season, allowing three runs or less in all seven starts. However, the right-hander will look for his first win since April 13 when he takes the mound on Tuesday night. Four of Eovaldi's five starts since then have been no-decisions, including his outing at Atlanta on Wednesday during which he struck out six Braves over 6 1/3 innings of three-run ball. Eovaldi is 1-2 with a 3.93 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 36 2/3 innings over six career regular-season starts against the Astros. He is 2-2 with a 5.09 ERA in five career postseason outings (three starts) vs. Houston. Jose Urquidy (2-1, 4.40 ERA) will start for Houston after consecutive no-decisions against the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers. He allowed just one run overall in nine innings during those outings. The Astros are 1-6 in their last 7 games as an underdogs. The Red Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter. Take BOSTON!
