Baltimore at Houston

Baltimore has taken a hit in their series vs. the Houston Astros. They have dropped the first three games of this series, and have been doubled-up on the scoreboard 14-7. That actually puts them in a pretty good historic spot here as a team that has dropped the first three games of a four game series as a road dog, and are a road dog again vs. a team over .600, have managed a healthy 7.5% ROI to avoid the sweep. Despite their shortcomings in this series, the O's are 17-6 in their last 23 vs. the AL West, and have won four straight with Chen on the hill vs. a winning team. Houston is a woeful 44-102 in their last 146 games vs. a team that plated two runs or fewer in their previous game, including 4-12 behind Kuchel. Play on Baltimore.
