New York at Houston

The Houston Astros lost 106 games a year ago. They have looked a lot better starting out in 2012, so either they are a better team, or don't know how bad they are yet. Despite playing 13 on the road, the Astros are 9-14, but have split their 10 home games. The Mets are just 6-7 over their last 13 games, including last night's loss right here. J.A. Happ has been good at home for the Stros as they are 3-2 in his last five home starts, and he has allowed just a total of 12 runs in the five games - certainly good enough to keep the Astros in this one to win it. The Mets have coughed-up their last five as a favorite of -150 or less, while Houston is 6-2 in their last eight as a dog of +150 or less. Play this one on Houston.
