Why The Astros Could Cover The Spread

The Astros have a great chance to put up a good amount of runs in this game. Gomber has allowed the third most home runs of any qualified starting pitcher this season.Gomber has also allowed hitters to bat .292 off him this seaosn, and .316 at Coors Field. Playing in Colorado for this game, the Astros do not even need to barrel the ball to get it out. If they can get just enough of the ball, it will fly. Houston has a higher OPS against left-handed pitchers this year, so they should be able to get to Gomber.

Bielak has already faced Colorado this season. The Rockies are not the strongest offensive team, but they can hit sometimes. Bielak threw seven shutout innings against Colorado earlier this month and allowed just two hits. If Bielak can have that same type of outing, the Astros will easily cover this spread.

Why The Rockies Could Cover The Spread

The Rockies were not able to get to Bielak in the last game, but they could in this one. Bielak's road ERA is almost two runs worse than his home ERA. On the road, Bielak is allowing hitters to bat .359 off him, compared to just .195 at home. Something clearly happens on the road that causes Bielak to struggle. Eight of the 10 home runs given up by Bielak have come on the road. The Rockies have a great chance to hit off a pitcher who hates being away from Minute Maid Park. If they can push across three or four runs, the Rockies will keep this game close.
