Atlanta at Houston

Atlanta is fourth in the majors in runs scored, 13th in steals, and No. 1 in on-base percentage. The defense is also No. 1 in fielding percentage. The Braves are 158-76 in night games. Houston put a lot into the last series, taking two of three from division rival Texas. They're still on a 4-6 run with a pitching staff that is 29th in ERA (5.32), 28th in WHIP, and 27th in the pen (5.32 ERA). Young Spencer Arrighetti (21.00 ERA) gets another start after a dreadful performance against Kansas City. The Astros are on a 44-53 run at home, 11-17 at home after two or more straight wins, plus 18-24 at home versus winning teams. Play Atlanta.
