Milwaukee at Houston

For the second year in a row the Houston Astros opened the season very poorly. This year they opened at 1-7,and last year 1-9. They have again rebounded to play somewhat better and have Wandy Rodriguez on the mound. Rodriguez has had two rough outings, but in his last 13 starts a year ago allowed no more than three runs in any of them. The Brewers have had trouble putting together back-to-back good games and stand at 0-4 after a win in their last four. Houston has one shinning star and that is facing lefthanders at home. The Astros have been 17-5 in their last 22 home games, facing a southpaw. I like Houston in this one.
