Houston at Tampa Bay

The Houston Astros are not the same offensive team we have seen recently, but the pitching remains a stronghold for this team. The Astros' pitching has allowed four or fewer runs in 9 of their last 12 games, and they have now allowed 165 runs on the season. That is tied for third in the AL. Tampa Bay has front-loaded its season with many home games to avoid Tampa's intense heat and humidity come summertime. The Rays have played 28 home games and 18 on the road. Their Stadium was destroyed by a hurricane last year, and they are playing at the Yankees' spring training complex. The Rays are a better road team at 10-8 than their ugly home record at 11-17. The Rays are 21-25 and not going anywhere. Make the play on Houston.
