This is an easy home run park and Houston rolled yesterday, 12-4. Houston is in a hunt for the postseason and has a terrific arm going in Jose Urquidy (2.78 ERA ERA), who is sporting a 2.37 ERA his last three starts. Urquidy recently beat Texas 4-1 with seven strong innings, and he is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA against them with 16 strikeouts and no walks covering 14 innings. The Astros are 74-36 against the AL West. Last place Texas has a losing home record, rank second-worst in the league in runs scored and slugging, and they are last in on-base percentage. Houston is 35-17 vs. Texas, including 18-7 in this park, so I'm backing the motivated visitors. Play Houston.
