The Houston Astros are the hottest team in baseball, and they've failed to cover the runline as a favorite in only one of their last 10 games. They should have no trouble scoring runs off Tigers Jose Urena (2-7, 5.79 ERA) who has lost all three of his three starts this month while allowing 17 runs through only 11 innings of work for a hideous 13.91 ERA. Houston right-hander Luis Garcia (5-4, 2.82 ERA) on the other hand has delivered quality starts in four of his past five starts and he has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his 14 outings.

8* play on Houston Astros.
