Tampa Bay at Houston

The Tampa Bay Rays may be feeling some pressure. They are now 10.5 games behind the Yankees in the AL East. The Wild Card is their point of entry to the playoffs and their cushion over Boston is a scant five games. The Rays have been playing poorly and have lost three straight by a combined score of 30-5. They lost to Houston last night 15-1 as the Astros are 8-1 over their last nine games and have won by a combined score of 58-22. Houston has now held nine straight opponents to four or fewer runs. Back Houston tonight.
