Subtract an 8-3 Dodgers victory from two days ago, and LA is averaging a meager two runs per game during its last six games. The Astros scored a huge upset against the Dodgers last night, 2-1, and they can beat them at home again today. The Astros are 7-3 in their last 10 games against the Dodgers. Houston is also 9-9 at home compared to 6-13 on the road. The Astros have the eighth-highest home slugging percentage. The betting line is inflated because the Dodgers are pitching Tyler Glasnow, who has a 2.56 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. Glasnow can be elite like this when healthy. But he has surrendered four home runs. The Astros have the third-highest batting average and are seventh in home runs. Houston starter Lance McCullers Jr. rebounded from a rough April with a strong start in his last game. McCullers beat the Orioles 11-5, giving up three earned runs and striking out nine in six innings. Take the Astros.
