I don't get the love for Houston here. The 10-19 Astros have been one of the biggest underachievers in baseball. The Guardians, by contrast, are tied for the second-best record in the majors at 19-10. |

The Red Sox have been getting great pitching in building a 16-13 record. I don't see that continuing starting with this game. |

I'm betting that desperation, excellent defense and fine coaching will keep the Heat inside of this large number in this Game 5 playoff matchup. Miami is eliminated by a loss. |

Just like many of his teammates, Zach Eflin is off to a slow start after going 16-8 with a 3.50 ERA last season. I expect a strong effort from Eflin and the Rays after a bench-clearing brawl during Tuesday night's games. Something like that can ignite a sleepy team. Milwaukee starter Colin Rea is 2-0 with a 3.25 ERA. I expect regression from him. Rea's ERA the past three years were 4.55, 7.50 and 5.79. Rea doesn't generate many strikeouts. The Rays can exploit this. The Brewers remain without injured outfielder Christian Yelich. |
