The Houston Astros don't have a lineup that is going to strike fear in opposing pitchers, especially a veteran like Derek Lowe who knows how to navigate through a lineup. The Astros have what has been their most consistent pitcher on the mound today with Wandy Rodriguez. Rodriguez has held opponents to 3 runs or less in 22 of his last 26 starts for the Stros, so I certainly have faith that he will hold the Braves down here. This year his last five starts have gone UNDER the total, and his stuff has translated well to the road where he has pitched the Astros into a 7-1 mark to the UNDER in his last eight roadies. Lowe has only pitched to three overs in his last 13 starts overall. This one finishes below the posted total, play the UNDER.
