Houston is hot and playing its best ball of the, season. They are starting to mash again, the OF defense is superlative, Josh Hader and Ryan Pressly look like shutdown relievers again and Hunter Brown has completely turned his season around with a 1.45 ERA his last 5 starts, striking out 38 in 31 IP with just 5 walks. Rockies are 5-9 when Austin Gomber starts, losing 8 of those games by 2 runs or more, including 4 straight. Gomber has a 9.68 ERA in June. COL 3-6 on the run line in their last 8 road games. It's not just who you play but when you play them. I am sprikling Stros -3.5 on alternate lines

Houston's Hunter Brown has cut down on his walks of late and turned around his season by going at least six innings in six straight. His home splits are also significantly better than away.
