The Houston Astros were sailing along, but have hit a wall. The Astros have lost five straight games, and the offense has been awful. In those five, Houston has scored eight total runs or 1.6 per game, settling for one run scored in each of their last three, all UNDERS. The Astros pitching has had to carry this team, and Washington has been shut out in two of their last four games, so this is a prime matchup. Mike Soroka gets the ball for Washington and his last 3 strats have been encouraging. Soroka has allowed just four earned runs in his last three starts. These teams are trending lower, and I like the UNDER in this one.
