The Astros are ranked just 15th in runs scored per game, with an average of 4.57 RPG, but have been killing it lately, scoring five or more in eight of their last ten games. They’ll face the Jays’ starter Alek Manoah who has been really struggling this season with a 5.46 ERA and crazy high 1.77 WHIP. Toronto didn’t light it up against the Mets, but I’m not so sure that Houston starter Brandon Bielak is as solid as he appears, with a WHIP of 1.45. Take the Over 10 -105.
