Total: 8.00 | 105.00 Under
Result: Win
The Astros lead the majors in homers and have added Carlos Gomez, who is expected to be in uniform today.
The Diamondbacks are a very good offensive, team. They are made even better playing in a hitter-friendly AL park such as Minute Maid Park and with a DH.
The pitching matchup favors a lot of runs here.
Arizona's Rubby De La Rosa has talent, but command issues. He is prone to the long ball, especially on the road where he's surrendered 13 homers in 55 1/3 innings. Houston is No. 1 in homers with 141. De La Rosa has a bad matchup here.
De La Rosa, who pitched for Boston last season, has a 9.28 career ERA versus the Astros in four appearances, including two starts.
Houston is going with the weak link in its rotation, journeyman Scott Feldman. He has a 4.54 ERA. His metrics aren't impressive either and neither is his command. His line drive rate ranks among the highest of starters with 70 or more innings pitched.
