All is took for the Astros was to get back at Minute Maid Park after getting swept in Cincinnati, which last night's 8-0 romp past the D-backs suggests. Good news tonight, too with deadline add Yusei Kikuchi, who not only has a solid 2.57 ERA in the six starts since moving from Toronto, but Houston has also won all six of those games. That was also an ominous scoreline last night for Arizona, which is hardly safely into the playoffs with both the Braves and Mets just 1 1/2-games back in the NL wild card race, while Eduardo Rodriguez hardly sharp in his last two starts (7.72 ERA, and blasted on Monday by the Dodgers in an 11-6 loss). Play Astros on Run Line

The Arizona Diamondbacks have lost consecutive games, and are just 4-7 over their last eleven. I’m not expecting a shutout loss like Friday for the Dbacks, but there are high concerns with Eduardo Rodriguez. The Mets got to him for five runs two starts ago, and his last start he went just four innings against the Dodgers. Grab Houston to get to the Diamondbacks pen early, and get another win over Arizona.
