Houston...we might have a problem. Roniel Blanco onto the shelf means that the Astros' staff is getting a bit thin, and Ryan Gusto's audition for a spot in the rotation might be turning permanent despite his so-so numbers, including a 4.58 ERA. Houston has also lost in the last four games in which Gusto appeared (two starts). Meanwhile, after a shaky stretch, Shane Baz straightened out for the Rays in his last start, limiting Toronto to one run and four hits across 5 2/3 IP while picking up a win last Saturday, resembling his April form when posting a 2.48 ERA. Tampa Bay pitching has excelled in the current 7-1 uptick, allowing only 14 runs, with the bullpen especially effective. Play Rays on Money Line
