The Arizona Diamondbacks blanked the Houston Astros last night, 2-0, but that’s understandable since Zack Greinke was on the hill for Arizona. Today they meet again in an early one at Chase Field and the outcome could be different. Brad Peacock gets the start for Houston and he has been spectacular. Peacock is 10-1, with an ERA of 3.07, and has not lost a game since June 9th. Houston is 7-1 in his last 8 starts and 6-1 in his last 7 road starts. Anthony Banda gets the nod for Arizona and he is 1-2, with an ERA of 4.60. Banda lost to the Dodgers in his last outing, 8-6. Houston has won 7 of the last 10 meetings with Arizona. I like the Astros in this situation.
Today’s Pick:
Houston Astros
