OUR PREDICTION: Despite the Astros’ sterling record with Keuchel on the mound in Houston, they’re just 2-9 in his last 11 starts, making them a risky runline play. Thus, take the over, which is 8-3-1 in the Reds’ last 12 road games and 20-8-4 in their last 32 games coming off win. The over is also 10-3-1 in Keuchel’s last 14 starts when he’s coming off five days of rest in between.
