Arizona at Houston

Arizona has reeled off 11 wins in their last 13 games while the Astros have lost seven of their last 11. The amazing thing for Arizona is that they have now won three straight on the road - a place where they have really struggled this season. Can they win a fourth in a row away from home, when they are averaging just 3.5 runs per game? I don't think so. It's just asking too much for this team to keep up this torrid pace. It's going to come to an end at some point and I think they lose tonight. Over the past three seasons, this team is just 12-34 after allowing 3 runs or less in back-to-back games. They are also 7-21 since last season after allowing 4 runs or less in three straight games. Over the past three seasons, the D-Backs are 9-20 when facing bad teams (.380 or worse). Brett Myers is 18-12 the past two seasons in night games and over the past three seasons, he's 14-8 vs. winning teams. I like the Astros here. I also like the UNDER. The Diamondbacks are averaging just 3.5 runs per game on the road this season while Houston gets 4.0 per game overall and 3.6 in their last seven. The last eight times Daniel Hudson has faced an NL team scoring under 4.4 runs per game, the UNDER has cashed every time. Also, with Hudson on the mound as a favorite, the UNDER has gone 9-1 the past couple of seasons. In their 31 night games this season, Arizona is 21-10 UNDER. Take Houston and the UNDER here.
