The Astros are going to put Urquidy on the mound who did not throw much in the regular season. However, the Rays are putting Yarbrough on the mound and he has done good in the pitching, but still is not throwing as good as Urquidy. Look for Houston to do better in the hitting here and that will actually allow the Astros to win a game in the series. Final Score, Houston Astros win 5-3.
