(MLB) Houston vs. Arizona,

Result: Win
This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Houston Astros.

This is a big game for the visiting side as it looks to keep pace for the AL's second wild card. It's also a big game for starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who will be looking to notch his 20th win of the season. The Astros have a one-game lead over the Angels and Twins as they enter Chase Field for the final three regular-season games. Houston comes into this pivotal series with plenty of momentum as well, it's won seven of its last 11 and overcame a three-run deficit in yesterday's 7-6 win in Seattle: "We've had to be resilient. We've been questioned all year," manager A.J. Hinch assessed afterwards. "We've had a few streaks that have been less than our best and we've come out of it very well each time. I didn't doubt our character coming into this series and I don't doubt it now." Keuchel (19-8, 2.47 ERA) has strung together back-to-back gems and gave up two runs over six innings in a 9-2 win over the Diamondbacks on August 1st. Arizona is in a prime letdown spot here as well after sweeping a three-game set from the Rockies and hands the ball to Rubby De La Rosa (14-8, 4.56 ERA) who has looked decent at times this year and poor in others, note that when he faced the Astros on July 31st he'd give up four runs. We feel that Keuchel is the superior starter in this matchup and that the overwhelming motivational factors working in favor of the visiting side combine to make this an extremely desirable price, play on the ASTROS.
