Houston goes for the four-game sweep here. Toronto leads the league with 14 road losses, and the Blue Jays are 9-23 as an underdog. Blue Jays lefty Mark Buehrle has been winning (5-2), but pitching badly with a 5.54 ERA. The Blue Jays are 1-6 when Buehrle is on the road against a team with a winning record. They face a young Houston team that is doing everything well. The Astros have won four in a row to push their record to an American League-leading 24-13, along with an AL-best total of 55 home runs. Astros righty Collin McHugh (4-1, 3.50) is throwing well with the team 14-3 when he starts. The Astros are on a 20-7 run, plus 12-3 following a win. They are also 6-0 against Toronto with the Blue Jays 0-6 the last six in this building. Play Houston.
