Sooner or later the oddsmakers will figure out that the Houston Astros that lost 105+ games over the last three years is no longer the inept team that found the win column so evasive. The Stros have a rookie slugger in George Springer and some pitching that is maturing into a rotation that is far ahead of those teams from the past three years. Houston is 12-4 over their last 16 games, and 11-3 in their last 14 when posted as an underdog. Arizona owns the worst home record in MLB, and Bronson Arroyo has not improved that as the D-Backs are 1-4 in his last five home starts. For as bad as Houston has been, they are 5-1 in Peacock's last six starts vs. a losing team. Take Houston.
