Very lopsided action on the Over 8 for this game. Very few books were moving to the 8.5 early to encourage more action on the Under. This includes some of the recreational books we follow.
PITCHING PROBABLES: Rays: Shane Baz (4-3, 4.94 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 52 strikeouts); Astros: Ryan Gusto (3-2, 4.58 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, 38 strikeouts)
Baz held the Blue Jays to one run in 5 2/3 innings in a win Saturday but allowed five runs in his prior start.
Astros career statistics vs. Baz have only hit one homer in 34 at bats.
Gusto allowed two runs over 4 2/3 innings against the Mariners on Friday. He kept the Rangers scoreless in a relief role.
Six of the last ten in this series have resulted in games staying Under 8.
