Arizona at Houston

The Arizona Diamondbacks have certainly made a better showing this season than most had expected. They may have some issues with an overworked bullpen. Zach Duke is starting for the first time all season and is coming off an injury. He will be very limited in pitches tonight, and may not get through five innings. The Astros have liked what they have seen out of Bud Norris this season as he has posted a 3.77 ERA so far. He has been great at home over his last 34 innings, allowing just 6 runs for an ERA of 1.59. Arizona is just 27-58 in their last 85 road games and a putrid 2-11 when they take on a team with a losing home record. Houston has been pounding lefthanders at home to the tune of a 21-7 mark in their last 28. Houston gets the money in this one.
