Houston Astros vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Astros in this one. I get the case to be made for the Brew Crew, as Milwaukee’s been the better team so far in this series. However, the Astros have a clear edge in starting pitching in this game, and I think Valdez can put the Astros in a spot to salvage something from this series. Give me the Astros in this one.
