We'll say this...if you like the Astros here, you've got the right guy on the mound. Now the Astros are back to the meat of their rotation, with Framber Valdez enjoying a spectacular run, with Houston winning in 13 of his last 14 starts, while Valdez also posted a 1.33 ERA since the start of August. Some momentum, too, after a great finish last night spearheaded by a defensive gem from Grae Kessinger denying Manny Machado what could have been the tying and winning runs in the 10th inning as Houston held on, 4-3. Note that the Padres' Dylan Cease tamed the Giants in his latest trip to the mound, but in his previous five starts had logged a 5.93 ERA. Play Astros on Money Line
