The Houston Astros certainly haven't looked like the same team that has lost 105+ games over the last three years, nor have they looked like the team that was on their way to doing the same this year. One reason for the about face has been the emergence of top prospect George Springer. since being recalled from AAA has already taken over the team lead in HR's and RBI, and he has 7 HR's in his last 7 games, swinging the hottest bat in baseball right now. Houston is now 11-5 over their last 16 games, and have won 6 straight, all as an underdog. The rotation has completed a full tun allowing just 7 total runs in 5 games. Gonzalez has struggled on the road where the O's are just 6-13 in his last 19 road starts, and Baltimore just 2-5 in their last 7 in Houston. Staying with the hot hand here, play on Houston.
