Houston is 6-11 on the road thanks to a lackluster offense and horrible pitching. They have been beaten 6.2 - 4.0 on average in their road games. Their bullpen has allowed nearly as many runs (63) as strikeouts (65). Pittsburgh's pen has a 2.72 ERA and at home they have delivered 40 Ks to just 13 runs. They also have the starting pitcher advantage here as J.A. Happ has gone 1-2 on the road with a 10.20 ERA. The Stros are 8-18 in their last 26 road games and 17-41 in their last 58 on the road vs. a losing team. They are 0-7 in Happ's last seven starts vs. a losing team. I like Pittsburgh to get it done here.
