The Astros have to keep up their good play if they wish to stay atop the West. I feel they will be sharp in this game.
Houston is the better team and I feel they will show that in this game. These are teams they need to beat.
Both of these pitchers have been good this year. I look for Garcia to pitch a little bit better and get his team a win.
I like the Astros straight up here.
