Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Houston Astros.
Setting the scene: Houston looks to keep the momentum rolling, after taking two of three from Seattle, the Astros come off a perfect sweep of the A's this week. LA lost two of three to Texas and would seem to be in over its head in what we feel to be a clear mismatch on the mound.
Ricky Nolasco: He's 6-14 with a 4.78 ERA. Nolasco has struggled with consistency this season, note that he's just 4-7 with a 4.93 ERA on the road thus far.
Mike Fiers: He's 11-7 with a 4.46 ERA. He most recently allowed just three hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six shutout frames in a victory over the Mariners on Saturday. Note that he's 6-4 with a 3.99 ERA at home to date.
The bottom line: Motivation is the deciding factor here for us, Houston sits one game behind the Tigers for the second wild-card slot and we're fully expecting the home side to keep the foot on the gas. Fiers has been far from perfect this season, but we're also going to give him the big nod in this matchup. Lay the price with confidence on the ASTROS.
