Houston Astros
AL West leading Houston was upset Friday night 5-3 by the streaking St. Louis Cardinals. This afternoon, however, the Astros seek revenge to cap their interleague showdown against a St. Louis club that’s won nine-of-ten.
Houston blew an eighth inning 3-2 lead as red-hot Cardinal Paul Goldschmidt unleashed a game-winning three run home run to place St. Louis atop the NL Central.
Houston now goes back to basics while starting Wade Miley (8-4, 3.18 ERA).

Houston is 4-1 in Miley’s last five starts and 14-7 this season when the 32-year-old lefty appears.
Miley, of course, will need help from his bullpen to blunt the suddenly potent Cardinals bats. A win today is important to keep the Astros alongside NYY for the AL’s top record. Renewed Houston success this afternoon also ensures the Astros maintain a healthy eight-game divisional lead over Oakland.
The Astros need to send a message with today’s performance.
St. Louis Cardinals
As the hottest team in Major League Baseball, St. Louis has defied critics to now sit atop the wide-open NL Central. A recent 9-1 record places the Cards a half game over former division leader Chicago in a tense battle.
As stated. St. Louis sent a clarion call to opposing teams by overtaking Houston late on Friday night.
The All Star break was the best thing to happen this season for the Cardinals. Out of sorts heading into the mid-season classic, St. Louis is 12-3 since.

That stated, Houston has been consistently better than St. Louis this season. Therefore, the burden of proof resides with the Cardinals to prove they can beat the World Series-contending Astros again. In a toss-up of even recent successes, I’ll side with Houston for the win.
