Cincinnati at Houston

Cincinnati ends a seven-game road trip on a 4-8 slide. Chase Petty got rocked in his only outing, losing 9-1 to St. Louis allowing nine runs in 2+ innings. They're 2-4 on this road trip. Houston has won two of three scoring 21 runs. Ronel Blanco has been very good at home with a 3.74 ERA while holding batters to a .173 average. Last season, Blanco had a 3.19 ERA at home holding batters to a .186 average. The Astros' relief staff is fourth in the majors with a 2.96 ERA, so back home field. Play Houston.
