Houston at San Diego

Andy Pettitte vs. Jake Peavy. If I mentioned this matchup at the start of the season you'd probably be pretty excited for a great pitching duel. Well, both have losing records and ERAs over five. But, over their last three starts Pettitte is 2-1 with a 4.24 ERA while Peavy is 1-2 with an 8.47 ERA. Edge to Pettitte. The Pads are just 20-24 as a favorite this season including 12-21 at home. They are also 6-13 vs. losing teams this year. Also, road underdogs of +125 to +175 after a game where the bullpen was rocked for 6 or more runs are 26-13 (67%) in August games over the past decade. San Diego is a losing home team that scores just 4.1 per game at home. They should not be laying -140 to Petitte and the Astros.
