Kansas City at Houston

Houston has won eight of nine games and get the pleasure of facing the KC Royals tonight. Wandy Rodriguez got hammered by Cincinnati earlier this month giving up 8 runs in less than two innnings but he followed that up with a brilliant 5 hit no run performance against the Cubs and a win against Atlanta. Versus KC he shouldn't have any problems considering that over the past two seasons he is 13-3 vs. bad teams getting outscored by 0.5+ runs per game. Scott Elarton is 1-8 on the season - 'nuff said. KC scores 3.1 per game on the road. Houston is scoring 6.7 per game over their last seven. Stros roll.
