Schule's MLB *TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE* - TOR@HOU
(MLB) Toronto vs. Houston, 05/15/2015 4:10 PM, Score: 4 - 8
Money Line: -135.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Houston Astros.

Houston is coming off consecutive wins, and the Astros still sit 4.5 games clear of the second place Angels in the AL West. They host an inconsistent Blue Jays team tonight, and I like the price with Houston sending it's ace to the mound.

Dallas Keuchel will toe the slab for the Astros, and he owns the lowest ERA in the major leagues. Keuchel (4-0, 1.39 ERA) allowed four runs on eight hits, striking out seven over 6 2/3 innings in a win over the Angels his last time out. He's only allowed one run through 21 innings at home so far this season, and he's 2-0 with a 2.95 ERA in three career starts versus the Blue Jays.

The Jays hand the ball to R.A. Dickey, who has been wildly inconsistent this season. Dickey (1-4, 5.00 ERA) was torched for six runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings in a home loss to Boston his last time out. He's failed to strikeout a single batter over 14 innings in his last two starts. He was rocked for five runs on nine hits over seven innings in a loss in his last trip to Houston.

The Astros bullpen ranks third in the majors behind St. Louis and Kansas City, with an ERA of 2.13.

Take HOU.
