Arizona at Houston

The Houston Astros have played at a high level over the past few weeks, but they were denied last night by the D-Backs 4-1. Arizona has quietly been on a roll themselves as they are 6-2 over their last eight games. While this series now switches to Houston, that may be even better for the D-Backs as they have played awful at home, but very well on the road where they are 17-14 on the season. That road resume includes an 8-2 mark in their last 10 vs. a team with a losing record on the season. That does not bode well for Houston who is a woeful 14-41 in their last 55 at home vs. a team with a winning road record. Arizona has dominated this team, having gone 21-5 in the last 26 meetings, including 10-1 in their last 11 in Houston. Back the D-Backs in this one.
