Chicago at Houston

There hasn't been a whole lot of winning going on in Houston over the last 3 years, but Chicago is 12-22 on the road, which is not much different than Houston's 11-23 mark at home. The bigger difference is that the Astros are suddenly 9-7 over their last 16 games. They are playing their best baseball in three years, while the Pale Hose have found the win column just four times in their last 16. The White Sox are now a Houston-like 1-10 in their last 11 road games, and do not fit the profile of a road favorite, especially against a Houston team that has to feel good having maintained a winning mark over the past two weeks plus. Houston is 5-1 in their last six at home vs. a team that is less than .400 on the road. Play on Houston.
