The Astros are 2-7 in their last nine games and pitching rookie Joe Musgrove, who has been used in the bullpen. I don't see Musgrove pitching long in this game and the Astros have a vulnerable bullpen.

Yu Darvish hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in four starts since coming off the DL. Darvish is getting stronger and stronger. He's recorded 35 strikeouts in his last 22 2/3 innings.
