Pittsburgh at Houston

The Houston Astros have lost a big chunk of their starting rotation, but thankfully they are in the AL West where their record is just 55-51 wwhich is good enough to be tied for the lead with Seattle in the division. Spencer Arrighetti has held five of the last six opponents he has faced to four or fewer runs, but has not been successful in the win column. The Pirates are 54-52 and have managed to stay alive for a possible wild card birth. The Pirate pitching has allowed five runs a game in their last four, while the Astros are putting up five runs per game in their last five. I like Houston in this one.
