Twins vs. Astros prediction: Stitches riding with Houston again
Tough picking Game 2 not knowing what transpired in Game 1, but there has been nothing easy about this season.
Tougher for you the reader if you’re playing along.
The Twins’ Pablo Lopez coughed up 11 runs in his last 15 ¹/₃ regular-season innings but allowed just one run to the Blue Jays in the wild-card round.
The Astros’ Framber Valdez was roughed up for nine runs over his last 9 ¹/₃ innings but has been money in the postseason.
His record, 7-2.
We lost a few Ben Franklins betting on the Twinkies and, yes, Framber Valdez this year.
Somethings gotta give.
We will take Valdez and Houston for $50.

Jorge Polanco’s three-run blast made things tighter than Chris Christie’s belt, but the Astros held on, 6-4.
