Cleveland at Houston

Houston will complete a seven-game home stand where they have gone 4-2 in the first six. This team has just come off a 10-game road trip and following this game will head on the road for another long road trip. They have played consistently well, especially at home, and I look for them to be focused here looking to take the series with a win at home. Cleveland is just 3-6 in their last nine games, and Cal Quantrill gets the ball for the Guardians. His one career start vs. Houston resulted in a 5.09 ERA. Cleveland has done poorly vs a team that averages 0.5 runs or more than their opponents, as the Guardians are just 20-44 in this spot the last two years. I like Houston in this one.
