#922 ASA PLAY ON Houston Astros -1.5 on the Run Line (+115) over Colorado Rockies, Wednesday at 2:10 PM ET - The Astros have won 6 straight games and have been on a long-term surge. Houston has won 27 of 43 since their rough start to the season. Houston has been rolling and they are enjoying being at home where they have won 8 of 10 games. Look for them to continue to take advantage of hosting a Rockies team that year in and year out is one of the worst road teams in the league in recent seasons. Colorado is 11-28 on the road this season and enters this game having lost 17 of 23 overall. The Astros have 39 wins this season and 34 of them have been by at least a 2-run margin so we feel especially comfortable laying the run line here. Houston won the first 3 games this season between these teams and those wins were by a combined score of 25 to 8. The Rockies 52 losses this season have included 41 by at least a 2-run margin. The Rockies bullpen ERA ranks dead last in the majors. The Colorado starter, Ryan Feltner, is in poor current form. Feltner has allowed 18 earned runs in 21.1 innings spanning his 4 starts in June. The Astros Spencer Arrighetti does not present a strong or even mediocre ERA based on his season numbers. However when you look at his recent numbers, they have been skewed by one really bad start. In his other 4 starts since late May, he has allowed only 5 earned runs in 19 innings. He does not work deep into games but the Astros bullpen work is part of the reason they have vastly improved as the season has gone on. Overall, in terms of team ERA the last 30 days the Astros have one of the best numbers in the majors while Colorado's team ERA is dead last. The Rockies on the road have struggled again all season including losses in 7 of last road 10 games and they were outscored a combined 48 to 18 in the 7 losses. Great spot to grab the value with a surging team at home and hosting a road-adverse foe. This is especially true with the bet available at plus money by laying the -1.5 runs! We will take it! Lay it!
