Result: Win
**RED HOT 13-4 L17 FREE PICKS**

Bounce back spot for the Astros, who I'm sure really do not want to suffer a four-game sweep here at Kansas City.

Houston righty Luis Garcia (9-6, 3.30 ERA) has admittedly been better at home than on the road, but he's won his last two starts (one on the road at LAA) while giving up only two earned runs in 11 innings.

Kansas City left-hander Mike Minor (8-11, 5.35 ERA) is 0-3 with a 5.50 ERA over his last three starts and KC has lost seven of his last nine starts.
