Houston comes into this matchup riding a four-game winning streak, and they are looking for the series sweep here. The Astros are 26-13 at home this season, while the Twins are 16-22 on the road. Minnesota has lost three games in a row, and they have allowed 29 runs in that span. The Twins are starting Woods Richardson, who has allowed 12 earned runs in his last two starts. Houston is going with Walter, who has allowed two earned runs in 11.0 innings this year. I don’t trust Woods Richardson or the Twins on the road, so give me Houston here.
