All Rays-Astros betting lines, odds and prop bets are available on FanDuel Sportsbook.
- 1st Half Match Betting (First 5): Houston Astros (-150) – Justin Verlander has been lights out in his career during the MLB playoffs. Verlander has made 25 career postseason appearances (24 starts) with a 3.19 ERA in 152 1/3 innings pitched. If Houston's dynamic lineup gets to Tyler Glasnow in his first postseason start, the Astros have a good shot at having the lead after five innings with Verlander on the hill.
