Tampa Bay at Houston

The Houston Astros have assumed the position as the worst team in baseball. That being said, they are not without a good option as Wandy Rodriguez takes the hill vs. the Rays. Rodriguez is a momentum pitcher that went on a serious roll last year and he is at it again, allowing 2 runs in his last 26 innings of work for a nifty and stingy ERA of 0.69. The Stros may be 20 games under .500, but with Rodriguez on the mound they have won six of their last seven. The Rays’ offense has struggled vs. left-handers on the road where they are 2-5 in their last seven. Their struggles vs. left-handers, combined with the success of Rodriguez, make the Astros a valued choice on the runline. Take ‘em.
