St. Louis at Houston

The Cardinals got off to a 9-3 start, but have been pedestrian since at 7-6 over their last 13 games. The Houston Astros lost 106 games a year ago and many had them pegged as a 100-loss team again this year. But from the way they have started, that doesn’t appear to be the case. They have been good at home with a 7-5 mark to start the season. Lucas Harrell has pitched four of his five games on the road, but threw a gem in his only home start vs. a good hitting Colorado team, shutting them out for seven innings. The Astros are showing some bite as a dog of +110 to +150 where they are 7-2 in their last nine. Play on Houston.
