The battle for Texas is always fun. This Houston team is a future champion, and I think this year their team turns quite a few heads, as they have been smashing teams into the ground. Houston has been awesome defending the outfield - and will take advantage of that talent with their excellent outfielders. The Houston defense on the whole, looks so much better when they know they can cover a lot of ground in a hurry, and pitch around players without fear. Texas has struggled to stop teams from scoring runs, yet again, and the Astros just happen to be able to score the ball pretty well, at top 5 in the majors. Houston has been like missiles closing in on fly balls, with 5 guys with 100 or more put outs. Texas comes around once in awhile to steal one from teams, but it takes them quite a bit, but not here vs top seeded Houston. Astros are 5-1 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing record. The Houston Astros win!
