Milwaukee at Houston

The Houston Astros can't, and haven't written any success stories over the last two and a half years, but they are sure writing one now. The lowly Astros, the team that lost 213 games the past two seasons, have had changing fortunes of late. The Astros are 11-8 over their last 19 games - their best stretch over the period. Milwaukee has had brief encounters with success this season with a nine-game winning streak, and a four-game winning streak, but have been 15-40 otherwise. The Brewers are a woeful 1-10 when facing an opponent that scored 2 runs or less in their previous game, and are just 17-38 on the interleague road. The Stros are a successful 7-2 in their last nine at home vs. a road team under .400. Play on Houston.
