Houston at Kansas City

The Houston Astros have won four straight games, and look for the sweep on the road in Kansas City. The problem is that the Astros have not recorded a sweep all season. The problem is due to a lack of consistent hitting, pitching, and bullpen depth. And sooner, rather than later, one or all of those will beat them. Houston has the worst track record on the road of any team in baseball, as they are a woeful 69-168 in their last 237 roadies. Kansas City will send Danny Duffy (2-4, 2.59) to the mound, and despite the record he has been one of their top pitchers on the season. Houston is just 2-9 in Cosart's last 11 starts if he made a quality start in his previous outing. The Royals come in at 10-1 in Duffy's last 11 starts vs. a losing team. Back KC to stave off the sweep.
