Houston at Miami

The Florida Marlins wasted a big opportunity on their recent six-game road trip as they dropped the first three to lowly Washington, then went to Philly and got the three-game sweep. It still leaves them in striking distance, but at the same time shows the youth of this team. Rick Vandenhurk has recovered from injuries, but still hasn't found the groove as he has made four starts for the Marlins and they have lost three of them, including the last three. The Astros have made good use of Brian Moehlers last 16 starts as they have claimed victory in 10 of them. They have now won five of his last six road starts and are now also 7-3 in his last 10 road starts against a team with a winning record. The Astros have started strong by going 7-2 in their last nine series openers. The Marlins aren't consistent offensively, and have now dropped each of Vandenhurk's last seven starts after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. I’m going with Houston on the runline in this one.
