Final Thoughts
The Rockies were not expected to win against the Astros last night. But we shouldn’t see them do it again tonight. Houston should get a strong start out of Framber Valdez to halt the momentum of Colorado tonight. I’ll lay the runline with Houston in what I think will be a lopsided game deep in the heart of Texas.
