A top-level pitching matchup goes in Houston tonight as Wandy Rodriguez squares off against the Phillies newl- acquired ace Cliff Lee. Lee showed his human nature last time out, as after 10-consecutive quality starts, he allowed six earned runs. Lee's teams are actually under .500 in his 13 road starts on the season, and he has proven vulnerable after an outing allowing five runs or more as he has pitched to a 5.73 ERA after allowing 5+. Wandy Rodriguez has had a breakout year for the Astros, and has pitched to a stellar 1.72 ERA in all of his home starts combined - surely enough to make this a live dog. I'll go with Houston here.
