The Astros are one of the hotter teams in the league and we know what they’re capable of when they get on these hot streaks. The Orioles are fade material until further notice, as this team is doing nothing right at the moment. Two teams heading in different directions. You can argue this line should be a bit steeper. Give me the Astros and reasonable price.
