Houston at Boston

The Houston Astros have made some significant gains from the AAA team they fielded over the last three seasons. However, they were so far down that those gains have still left them marked as a poor team as they are still 21 games under .500. Boston is looking to the future as last year's champs have had an ugly season. One big positive look into the future has been Ruddy DeLaRosa as he has pitched very well. DeLaRosa has allowed 1 run or fewer in four of his last eight starts. The Sox hold a huge edge as Brad Peacock has struggled all season at 3-8 with a 5.25 ERA. Peacock's last two road starts have been an adventure where he has surrendered 15 runs in 10.1 innings of work. Houston has taken the donut in his last nine starts on a regular four days of rest at 0-9. The Red Sox own a 31-13 record in their last 44 as a chalk from -151 to -200. Make the play on Boston.
