#975 ASA PLAY ON Houston Astros -1.5 on the Run Line (-150) over Colorado Rockies, Sunday at 4 PM ET - Astros won 12-4 yesterday and the posted total on this game is 16 because of where it is being played. This one at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City. Yesterday's game totaled 16 runs and this 2-game series is playing out in similar fashion to last year's 2-game series between the Padres and Giants in the thin air of Mexico City and with this stadium having modest dimensions. The thing is, just like yesterday, it is the Astros bats that will make the most noise. The Rockies have just 2 high-scoring wins in their current 3-10 run over the last 13 games. How did those other 11 games go? Just 1.8 runs scored per game! This is despite many of those games being played at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The fact is that Colorado is just not hitting! As for the Astros, they have had a surprisingly tough start to this season and also have struggled at the plate but yesterday's game is a sign of things to come! Houston won 12 to 4 yesterday and had 6 extra-base hits including 3 homers while the Rockies had just 1 extra base hit - a 2-run homer by McMahon in the first inning. The Astros scored the next 12 runs in that game after that McMahon bomb. In the pitching match-up today Valdez has pitched less so far this season but his ERA is half of Gomber's ERA plus he has allowed no homers while Gomber has already allowed 4 long balls! Also, Valdez dominated in his 2nd start after struggling some in his first start. Gomber had an ERA of at least 5.50 each of the last two seasons while Valdez entered this season 40-23 the last 3 seasons and with an ERA right around the 3.00 mark! Another road blowout expected here per our computer math model. Lay it as, just like yesterday, the Astros roll big again!
