It looks as if Father Time has finally caught up to Bartolo Colón, but he will get the start tonight when the Atlanta Braves make a trip to Minute Maid Park to take on Charlie Morton and the Houston Astros. Colón is just 1-3, with an inflated ERA of 6.27, and was drilled in his last 2 outings, giving up 11 runs, on 17 hits, in 9 innings of work. Morton has been steady for the Astros, with a 3-2 record, a 3.97 ERA, and Houston is 4-0 in his last 4 home starts. Atlanta has dropped 4 in a row and are 6-10 on the road.
Tonight’s pick:
