Houston at Arizona

The Houston Astros have risen from the ashes of three consecutive seasons with 105 or more losses. The overall record still isn't pretty, but you can see this team is starting to come around, grow in confidence, and the result has been 11 wins in their last 15 games overall. Houston's once inept lineup has scored 7 runs or more in 6 of those 15 games. Arizona actually has a worse record on the season than Houston, and at home they have really struggled where they are 11-23. Houston has won foour straight series openers. Arizona has been very poor in the role of a favorite as they are a meager 5-12 in their last 17 as a favorite of -110 to -150. Take Houston in this one.
