Milwaukee at Houston

Milwaukee has lost three of five after dropping the opener of this road trip, 5-4. Starter Bryse Wilson has walked eight in his last two starts (10 innings) and doesn't go deep into games. There's nothing wrong with the Astros that a nice winning streak won't cure. There's nothing wrong with having an ace on the mound, either. Houston has won six in a row, plus eight of nine, and is 119-39 at home against a starter who lasts less than five innings per start. Justin Verlander (3.38 ERA) has a 2.57 ERA at home this season and the offense is 12th in runs scored and fifth in on-base percentage. Houston is 81-40 after a five-game stretch where the bullpen ERA was 2.00 or better. Play Houston.
