The Houston Astros have not been a good team for a long time, but they have been making up some ground. Drew Pomeranz was superb in the opener allowing no runs over seven innings. However, he has been challenged by this Houston lineup in his career, never recording a win in two starts and one relief appearance while carrying the baggage of a 5.79 ERA. McHugh is becoming a top-of-the-rotation pitcher, having won all of his last seven decisions in 2014, and he opened the season with a gem in a Houston win. Last season vs. Oakland he went 8.2 innings allowing just two hits and a single run. Additionally, the Astros fit a situation in this game that has produced a 28.6% ROI over the last 10 years, so make the play on Houston.
