Houston Astros are 25-5 in Verlander's last 30 starts on the road as he really is their go to stopper. Astros has a rough game in Toronto on Sunday then struggled in game one of this series at the Reds as many of their top players are on the IL.
Justin Verlander comes into this game 9-2 with a 2.41 ERA he has 125 strike outs and just 19 walks the man is just the most dominant team in baseball and really makes up for the fact that Houston is so short handed and now in even more need of a breakout win.

Verlander in his last start went 7 innings and setting a career high with 15 strike outs and zero walks. The Cincinnati Reds come into this game really in need of stringing wins together and send mediocre pitcher Anthony DeSclafani to the mound.
Anthony is 3-3 with a 4.43 ERA he has 64 strike outs and 21 walks this year. Last start for DeSclafani he went 5.2 innings and gave up just one run. Issue with Anthony has been his innings as he just does not go deep into games and that gets the bullpen in a bad spot.
