This is a 5* play on the Houston Astros.

We think Dallas Keuchel and the hard-hitting home side are well worth the price of admission in this matchup.

Austin Pruitt: He's 5-2 with a 6.63 ERA. Pruitt most recently was rocked for five runs off four hits over five innings in a loss to the Yankees on Friday. Pruitt has been an absolute disaster at the major league leve, posting a 6.63 ERA over 36.2 innings of work (7.25 ERA on the road.)

Keuchel: He's 9-0 with a 1.94 ERA. Keuchel comes in off a shaky start against Detroit on Friday, giving up three runs over three innings in an eventual no-decision. It was Keuchel's first start back since injury in almost two months, but he has to be feeling pretty confident that he can bounce back with a better effort tonight, as note that he's 4-0 with a minuscule 1.04 ERA at home this season.

The bottom line: No need to overanalyze this one. Get down as fast as you can before this line moves even higher. Play on the ASTROS.
