Happy Monday to you all! We are 6-1 in our last seven MLB plays and will look to extend it tonight.

They will face Nathan Eovaldi, who is 4-3 with a 4.43 ERA. The Astros have had a lot of success against Eovaldi in the past. They scored nine runs on him earlier this year, and I do not think they will have any issue scoring tomorrow.
The Red Sox are 3-7 since the All-Star break and have not looked good. They will have to come to play tomorrow, or they will get smoked by the Astros in this series. They will face Luis Garcia in game one, who is 8-6 with a 3.81 ERA. Garcia has struggled when pitching at home this year with a 4.89 ERA. The Red Sox also had success with Garcia earlier this year, and I think they will be able to score some runs for us tomorrow.
As of now, it also looks like the wind will be blowing out with about 12 mph winds. Instead of picking a side, I will fade both of these pitchers. We could have an early win on our hands here!
