It seems almost every season, the Houston Astros start to surge when they need to. Right now, they own a seven-game lead in the American League West, at 51-34, winning eight of their last 10 outings. Meanwhile, I don't think anyone would debate the Colorado Rockies are the worst team in baseball, dwelling in the National League West cellar, 34.5-games back, at 19-66. Oh, by the way, they've lost eight of their last 10. The Astros score a lot more, while their pitching staff ranks fifth in the league, compared to the Rockies, whose offense ranks 27th, and pitching staff ranks dead last at 30th in baseball. Speaking of which, Hunter Brown and Austin Gomber are schedule. There is such a contrast in their statistics, it is uncanny. You can expect Brown to keep the Rockies lineup at bay, while the surging Astros offense, jumps all over Gomber. This game is gonna’ get ugly. Take Houston on the run line. Thank you.
