Top Rated 10* NL *GAME OF THE WEEK* Goes Tuesday
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Houston,
Money Line: -145.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Houston Astros
Rating: 5*

The Houston Astros will host the St. Louis Cardinals for a brief interleague series at Minute Maid Park starting Tuesday night. With both teams coming off an off day, this looks like a good spot to back the Astros.

The Cardinals are 7-19 in their last 26 games following an off day and they'll send Jaime García (9-8, 3.93 ERA) to the mound. He's 2-6 with a 6.15 ERA in previous meetings with Houston and 3-3 with a bloated 5.04 ERA in 10 road starts on the season. Jose Altuve is 7-for-16 in previous meetings with Garcia and he's hitting .364 in 26 games versus the Cardinals.

Houston is 5-1 in its last six games following an off day and turns to its ace Dallas Keuchel (7-11, 4.56) for this contest. The left-handed ace is coming off his best performance of the season as he went the distance and blanked the Rangers on three hits his last time out. He's 0-1 with a 9.45 ERA in two prior appearances (one start) against St. Louis, but the Cardinals are batting just .245 with a .315 on-base-percentage against southpaws this season.

The Cardinals are 2-10 in their last 12 interleague games while the Astros are 10-1 in their last 11 interleague games vs. a team with a winning record.
