Result:
WIN

Houston looks like the best team in the AL, tops in runs, slugging and on-base percentage, while the pitching staff is fourth in team ERA (3.46). They're riding an 11-1 streak averaging 8.2 runs per game during that stretch. Rookie Corbin Martin made his debut the last start in a 15-5 romp, allowing two earned runs while striking out nine in 5+ innings. At Triple-A Round Rock he had a 1.48 ERA striking out 28 in 24 innings. The Astros are on a 54-25 run on the road, plus 38-18 against a right-handed starter. Boston starter Hector Velazquez has a losing home mark with a 4.30 ERA in Fenway this season. He won't go deep into the game and the Red Sox middle relief isn't as strong as a season ago. And after a 3-1 win yesterday the Astros have won five of the last seven at Fenway Park. Take Houston.
