Schule's MLB TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (4*)
(MLB) Boston vs. Houston,
Money Line: -118.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 4* play on HOU.

The Astros would have moved into a first play tie with Texas at the top of the AL West with a win over Texas yesterday, but they lost in extra innings remaining a game back. They turn to their hottest pitcher this afternoon, and his name might surprise some.

J.P. France has been lights out since June, and the Astros have won eight of his last nine starts. The one loss was a 2-0 shutout versus Seattle, and France struck out seven in six solid innings.

The Red Sox hand the ball to Brayan Bello who is 0-4 with a 7.33 ERA in day games this season.

Houston ranks 1st in the American League in runs scored since the All Star break.
