The Houston Astros have had several poor showings the last few seasons, none worse than their 111 losses from last season. This team has gotten more experienced, and have a couple of starters that are going to keep them in games. They are much more competitive with their last five games resulting in an average of a 1 run loss, as compared to so many blowouts and uncompetitive games from last season. Scott Feldman has been huge so far with an 0.44 ERA, and has fared very well against Kansas City in his career with a lifetime ERA of 3.12 and a 4-2 record. Billy Butler has been a liability in the Royals' lineup as he is 7-47 with 10 extra-base hits on the season. The Royals are just 15-36 on the road vs. a home team that has a home winning percentage of less than .400 - a true no-show. Take Houston.
