Chicago at Houston

Chicago is on a long road trip and playing awful baseball, on a 4-13 run and 1-11 in their last 12 road games. This offense has been broken down all year, and they are no bounce back team, with the White Sox 2-10 in their last 12 games following a loss. They are in last place and have lost three in a row, including the last two to this Houston team, 2-1 and 4-3. And yet, they are a favorite, and the White Sox are 0-6 in their last six games as chalk! Lefty Hector Santiago (2-4) doesn't deserve this much respect from oddsmakers, walking 26 in 52 innings. In his last three starts: 11 walks in 15+ innings, a terrible ratio. The Astros are 7-2 in their last nine games following a win, and 6-2 at home against a team with a losing record. They have Dallas Keuchel on the hill with a 1.89 ERA and a 2-1 record his last three starts, plus the White Sox are 1-4 in the last five meetings. Play the Astros.
