Houston at Cleveland

Houston is a .500 road team and the Astros are 5-12 away against a team with a losing record. This is a tough situational spot for Houston, the sixth straight road game of a 10-game trip. They looked road weary yesterday in a 2-0 loss. Astros starter Dan Straily (7.71 ERA) has been awful and Houston is on a 6-14 run on the road. This is the third straight home game for Cleveland on a nice homestand. The Indians are 5-1 against a right-handed starter, plus 4-1 as chalk. Indians righty Trevor Bauer (7-5, 3.88) has held Houston scoreless for 12 innings this season. Bauer overpowered the Astros in his season debut, registering 11 strikeouts in six hitless innings. The Astros are 4-14 in the last 18 meetings, including 2-9 at Cleveland. Play Cleveland.
