I will back the Astros here on Sunday with Dallas Keuchel having a 1.83 ERA during day games and leading the majors with 16 quality starts. Keuchel is also on extra rest which I feel will really benefit him at this point in the season. It also pays that hte Royals are struggling at the plate and scoring just 2.65 runs per 9 vs. LHP over their last 10. Meanwhile the Astros are hitting well with 5.44 vs. RHP over their last 10 and Yordana Ventura has not been the same pitcher as last year. Some have hinted towards injury, but I don't know if that's true as his velocity is still among the best in the majors. Hitters are just making better contact as he is one of the highest percentages of medium/hard hit balls in the majors at 90%. Both bullpens are top tier while Houston's offense is a bit better vs. RHP than KC is vs. LHP no matter what way you look at it, overall, home/away, last 5 or last 10 games overall. The value is right and I'll go with the Astros who are top 10 in OPS and ERA during day games this year.
