Cleveland is hanging in there, winning five of its past seven games, even with several injuries, especially to its starting rotation. They'll look to rebound from Monday's 4-3 loss with Triston McKenzie on the mound, and he has been inconsistent this year, but he does come off a gem against Kansas City when he pitched eight shutout innings on one hit in a 2-1 Cleveland win. No one on the Houston roster has ever faced McKenzie. Likewise, the Indians will be seeing Luis Garcia for the first time, and he is 6-5 as he gave up a run in five innings against Oakland after being touched for four runs in four innings versus the Orioles. We're getting good value with the road underdog in this macthup. Play the Indians.

The Houston Astros have a future Hall of Famer on the hill tonight in Zack Grienke. Greinke has been one of the top pitchers in all of baseball when at home, and his differential compared to away games is striking. Since the start of the 2008 season, Greinke has been just over the .500 mark on the road at 108-102, but with a negative -3.3% ROI. When pitching at home, he has been electric as his team has posted a 149-67 mark with an ROI of +14.2%. He is backed by a strong offense and tonight, I like Houston to win.
