Our selection is on the Houston Astros to defeat the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Houston will start Colton Gordon -- allowed zero runs in his last start and will be good again today.

The Astros are red hot at the moment winners of six of their L7 games this season.

They have also beaten Colorado in five games in a row.

Colorado will start Chase Dollander -- is 2-8 in his rookie season and he's not doing so well.

The Rockies are just 1-11 over their L12 games played this year against opponents from the American League.

As bad as Colorado is, it's nice not to have to play on the Run Line. We're on Houston just to win.
