White Sox starter Johnny Cueto has been living dangerously, The 36-year-old has given up 42 hits over his last five starts, but he's been successful at stranding runners. That might be tougher tonight against the AL-best Astros. Houston is averaging 7 runs during its four-game win streak, albeit against lesser competition. Houston starter Jose Urquidy faces a White Sox lineup that ranks 23rd in OPS versus right-handed pitching. Look for Houston to improve to 21-8 in the past 29 meetings.

The White Sox just won three straight games, but they got lucky in facing the Tigers. Tim Anderson is still injured, and Luis Robert was hurt on Friday and could be out of the lineup again today. Jose Urquidy was hit hard in his last outing, but he had been pretty much unhittable before that throwing nine straight quality starts. Johnny Cueto has been very good for the White Sox throwing eight straight quality starts and he pitched seven scoreless against the Astros earlier this season. However, the Astros have a much better bullpen, and they took two of three games earlier this season. The Astros beat the White Sox in the playoffs last season so I think they should be focused for this series, because my worry with the Astros is since they’ve consistently had such a big lead in the division and for the first-round bye, they don’t have much to play for in these games. But I still like the Astros on the road here.
