Some things are simply unexplainable. The Houston "Disastros" lost 213 games over the last two years, and were heading for 120+ this season. Suddenly this team has caught fire, and has now won seven of their last eight. What is explainable is that over a 162 game season, good teams will have bouts of struggles, and bad teams will play like champions. Bud Norris has been good all year as he is 5-4 with a 3.39 ERA, and has out-pitched Miguel Gonzalez and his 4.33 ERA. The Orioles have lost each of Gonzalez's last four road starts, and they are 1-6 in their last seven as a road favorite from -110 to -150. Everything is breaking right for Houston right now, and they are playing with confidence. Take Houston.
