Sunday night baseball will feature a Houston Astros team aiming to avoid being swept by the LA Dodgers. Houston is in the midst of a 5 and 12 stretch over their past seventeen games. Yet, they plated in seven runs yesterday on thirteen hits. After falling short by one run in consecutive nights, take the Astros to avoid the sweep.

The Dodgers go for their fifth straight win behind Tony Gonsolin (4-2, 2.92 ERA), who is looking to bounce back from his worst performance this season. He's backed by an improving bullpen that's allowed one run over the past 19 innings. Houston rookie Hunter Brown has been tagged for four homers and eight walks in three starts this month. That bodes well for a Dodgers lineup that ranks third in MLB with 122 homers and second in walks drawn per game (4.13). Look for Houston's current 2-7 skid to continue.

The Dodgers had a really rough go of it last weekend at home against their rival, the Giants, but this time around it looks like a sweep of the Astros. Bad vibes are coming from the Astros' dugout, as they really miss Yordan Alvarez and the bullpen can't hold the few leads they've grabbed of late. They've lost 12 of their last 17. Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin is 17-4 with a 2.26 ERA at home in his career, so I'm confident his awful outing against the Giants last time out was an outlier. Astros rookie Hunter Brown has a 4.62 ERA in his last nine outings and I'm calling a big Freddie Freeman game here as the Dodgers roll.
