Houston at St. Louis

Letting one slip by vs the Astros won't sit well with the Cardinals tonight. Houston, aside from a 7-2 run, is 3-19 otherwise. Their offense has produced just 2.7 runs a game,and, with a Cards staff that has allowed four or less in 21 of their last 24, a repeat of last night is a lot less likely than the posted odds here. The Astros are a meager 6-22 with Rodriguez on the hill and on the road vs a team with a winning record, they are 0-5 in his last five starts vs the Cards. St. Louis gets redemption.
