Cincinnati at Houston

It was a matter of time before Houston started showing their true colors, and they have. This is a team that has not made a lot of improvements to a 106 loss team a year ago, and are now off 6 straight losses, and a pitching option in J.A. Happ who has not been very good, especially in this spot. Houston is just 12-31 in his last 43 starts, which includes 1-9 facing an opponent that held their last opponent to 2 runs or less. Cincinnati is 6 games over .500 now that they have gone 9-3 in their last 12, and continue playing at a very high level. They have been 5-0 after scorimng 2 runs or less in their last 5, and overall behind Leake after scoring 2 or less they are 10-4. Cincinnati has won 4 of the last 5 meetings in this series, add one to that total tonight. Play on Cincinnati.
