There has been nothing pretty about the Houston Astros over the past few seasons. Last year was the worst of all as they lost 111 games. This team is getting lines based on that, but they are a bit more mature, and have gotten somewhat better this season. The Royals are off to a poor start at 5-7. The Royals have produced the fewest runs in MLB and they have certainly had a power outage, totaling just two home runs. Jeremy Guthrie is going to have to be better than he has been over his career vs. Houston where he owns a 5 ERA in four starts against them. Dallas Keuchel pitched a gem his last time out allowing a single run in 7 innings of work for the win over Toronto. The Royals are just 15-36 on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Make the play on Houston.
