The Astros have been waiting for Wandy Rodriguez to mature into the pitcher they believed he could be, and all of that has materialized this season. Rodriguez has pitched the Astros to an 11-6 mark in his 17 starts. Rodriguez has been especially tough at home. He had one big bump vs. the Colorado Rockies at home, but otherwise has been lights out and pitched to a 1.53 ERA in front of the hometown fans. Charlie Morton has logged 17 good innings for the Pirates, but it can’t be forgotten that Morton posted a 30-45 mark in the minors, before being brought up by the Braves a year ago, and went 4-8 with a 6.15 ERA. Morton's numbers are better than he is right now and I think the Astros catch up to him in this one. I'm going with Houston here.
