Colorado at Houston

The Houston Astros have lost 213 games over the last two seasons, and a shift to the American League has not enriched their fortunes. The Stros, however, are playing about as good as it gets for them, having gone 5-6 in their last 11 games - by far their best stretch of the season. The Rockies continue to be a team that struggles away from Coors Field, where they are a woeful 4-10 in their last 14, and have now dropped three straight on their current road trip. The Rockies have been beaten up in interleague games where they are 6-21 ver their last 27, including 1-10 as a favorite. The Astros are showing signs of life over the past two weeks, and are poised to rise as a live dog here. Play on Houston.
