Cleveland at Houston

The Houston Astros were surprising early for a team that fell victim to the loss column 106 times last year. They seem to be regressing back to that inept team, as they have struggled to a 6-19 mark over their last 25 games. They have failed to top the 3-run mark in 11 of their last 15. Over their last three games they have produced just 2 runs, with a team batting average of .181, producing just four extra base hits - all doubles. The good news is that their pitching has been doing the same to opposing hitters, holding the Indians to just 2 runs last night, allowing just 6 runs over their last three games. The Tribe is now sporting a 19-7-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 27 vs. an interleague foe below .500, as well as a 20-5 UNDER mark on the road vs. an interleague team starting a left-hander. The Astros are 12-3 to the UNDER at home vs. a right-hander, and 7 of the last 10 between these clubs have failed to reach the total. The Tribe is playing well and has taken advantage of a winning situation, now 37-17 in their last 54 as a road favorite. Houston is really on a free fall, and their track record vs. a right-hander is pathetic as they are 46-102 in their last 148 against one. Play this one on Cleveland and the UNDER.
