Spread: Houston Astros +1.5/Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5
Over/Under: 9.5
Tonight the Astros will be sending Henry Sosa (0-0, 0.00 ERA) to make his MLB debut while the Diamondbacks will counter with Josh Collmenter (5-7, 3.96 ERA). Arizona is 4-1 in their last 5 games against the Astros. With Justin Upton heating up down the stretch I would look for the Diamondbacks to run away with this and deal the Astros rookie pitcher his first loss. With the lead, the D'Backs will hand the ball off to J.J. Putz who has recorded 6 straight saves since returning from the disabled list. While the Diamondbacks will be scoring runs, Collmenter has been very unstable this season so I look for the Astros to tally some runs also. I will be looking for this game to hit the over.
MY PICK: OVER of 9.5
