The Houston Astros are riding a four-game winning streak and had covered the runline in three straight before coming up just short in Saturday's 2-1 win over Seattle. I predict a bigger Astros win today when their top 10 offense get to hit off Justin Sheffield (1-2, 5.27 ERA) who has been roughed up in two of three starts on the season. As for Houston righty Lance McCullers Jr. (2-1, 6.10 ERA), while he's been inconsistent, not that Houston has won three of his four starts. Additionally, he's coming off a really sharp outing when he held San Francisco to one hit over seven scoreless innings of a 6-4 win.

8* play on Houston Astros -1.5.
