If you discount a 7-6 win against the Rockies, the Astros are averaging only two runs per game during their last four games. Injuries to shortstop Jeremy Pena and outfielder Jake Meyers, both off good seasons last year, haven't helped the offense. Houston isn't a base-stealing threat anymore with Pena, who had 20 steals last season, and 35-year-old Jose Altuve not running like he used to. The Astros rank 25th in stolen bases. St Louis has scored three or fewer runs in four of its last six games. The Cardinals rank 20th in batting average. They will face Peter Lambert, who is hoping for better in his Astros debut after four bad years pitching at Coors Field for the Rockies. Kyle Leahy is on the hill for the Cardinals. He has a 5.14 ERA after going 4-2 with a 3.07 ERA in 88 innings pitched last season. The Cardinals have a rested bullpen after being idle on Thursday. Take the UNDER.
