Both starting pitchers, Drew Rasmussen and Framber Valdez, are having huge seasons. Both, though, are not in the best of form, which is needed if this low total is going to stay Under. I'm willing to say that each team should be good for at least three runs here.

Rasmussen is 10-7 with a 2.85 ERA on the season. However, he's lost three in a row. He has a 4.96 ERA during this stretch. Rasmussen faces a Houston squad that is fourth in the majors in homers and eighth in runs.

Valdez sports a 16-5 record and 2.69 ERA. However, he's off his worst of the season in which he gave up seven runs (four earned) on 11 hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings versus the Orioles this past Saturday.
