Astros over Phillies- The 'numbers' surrounding this contest are ugly from every view-point. To start with the Astros are just 24-54 in inter-league games and are 79-183 in tier last 262 road hames (over four years) but the Phillies don't look much better. Philadelphia is 9-26 in their last 35 inter-league games and are just 4-10 in their last 14 games as an underdog. This last stat is the one that has me thinking because the lowly Houston Astros are favored by Vegas on the road against a team with a better record. They have won three straight and go for their first four game winning streak of the season. Dallas Keuchel (10-7, 2.97 ERA) will throw for Houston while Kyle Kendrick (5-11, 4.92) is 1-3 with a 5.33 ERA in six career starts against Houston. Somethings' up. Take HOUSTON!
