Houston at Cincinnati

The Houston Astros have opened a 5.5 game lead on Seattle, but didn't serve their cause well last night as they lost to the Reds 12-5. That is two straight losses in this series, and they will try and avoid the sweep this afternoon. The Reds have something going as they have won three in a row. The Astros have not had a lot of success in Hunter Brown's 26 decisions on the season where they are 13-13. The road has been challenging all season for Houston, as they come into this game with a less than .500 record on the road. The Reds are playing with confidence now. Make the play on Cincinnati.
