Top Major League Baseball Exposures June 19 - Astros

The Astros were seeing heavy one-sided action in Major League Baseball Tuesday but one will have to pay a steep price here to bet them as they are at -255.  These teams have split the last ten meetings but Tampa Bay had won the previous three (all in Houston) before the Astros win yesterday.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays LH Blake Snell (8-4, 2.58 ERA) vs. Astros RH Justin Verlander (9-2, 1.61)

Snell has allowed fewer than three runs in 12 of his 15 starts, but he wasn't in top form against the Yankees as he yielded four runs and five hits over five innings.  He is  0-1 with a 7.50 ERA in three career starts against the Astros, yielding 19 hits - including four homers - in 12 innings.

Verlander allowed three runs in each of his last two outings - both victories - and has served up three homers during the stretch.
