The Orioles are 10-15 on the road and 7-19 against the AL West. They have been outscored 30-12 during this skid and face the Houston Astros, a team with the best record in baseball. The Astros have won three in a row and end a 10-game homestand today. Houston is fourth in baseball in runs scored and slugging, and sixth in on-base percentage. Astros starter Lance McCullers (5-1, 2.43 ERA) has a 22-inning scoreless streak as he has kept his opponents off the board in three straight starts. The Astros are 27-10 vs. a right-handed starter plus 40-19 at home against a team with a losing road record. Play Houston on the Runline.
