00:00Let's take a look at Houston and Boston.

00:01Key game yesterday.

00:03Heavy underdog at home for the Astros.

00:05They pick up the victory today.

00:06Not so heavy and roughly a toss-up.

00:08Arrighetti's on the mound, but he's the favorite tonight, Joe.

00:11Minus 118s, minus 120s in the marketplace here.

00:14Dustin May on the mound here.

00:15Opened up at an eight total.

00:17Now sits at an eight and a half at a lot of outlets.

00:19So May versus Arrighetti.

00:20Not two pitchers that seem to be shut down.

00:22Could we get some runs enough to get nine tonight, Joe?

00:25Yeah, you would think that we might get a little more offense than usual.

00:31But Arrighetti at least has now an appearance under his belt.

00:36And we'll see what he can do with it.

00:39I still don't like May in any way, shape, or form here.

00:44So I would tend to lead towards Houston here.

00:48But more than anything else, Danny, I like the advantage early.

00:51I'm going to take the Houston Astros in the first five.

00:55I think they'll do exactly what they did yesterday, play from in front.

00:59And Boston, with no hater now at the back end of that Houston bullpen,

01:04yeah, Boston still very much alive late in this game.
