The Astros may have played themselves out of the division race early on, but their recent play makes them a viable wildcard candidate. The Astros are on fire, winning 11 of 12 and 23 of their last 31. Randy Wolf is one of the reasons. The Astros have won seven of his last eight starts, winning them handily by an average of 2.3 runs a game. The Pirates sent off the core of their lineup and best bullpen piece for prospects. One of those, Russ Olendorf, has not been looking good as he has a 6.26 ERA on the season. There will be plenty of runs to be had for the Stros and I like them in this one on the runline.
