Rockies vs Astros Prediction
Colorado shocked Houston with a win in game one to start this series, but they have been one of the worst teams in baseball this year. The Rockies are 17-49 on the road this year, while the Astros are 38-28 at home. Houston is clinging to the first spot in the AL West and they are starting Valdez, who has been awful over his last few starts. Colorado is going with Dollander, who has allowed 11 earned runs and 15 hits in his last 8.1 innings. I know Valdez is struggling, but he should bounce back against this lineup. Take Houston -2.5 here.
