The Astros are a great team on the year and are looking to make a great case here for locking down the division.

With the Astros, the team on the road has ended up finding themselves only 6 games over the five hundred mark on the road and that could really hurt their chances of winning here.

The Royals are putting Duffy on the mound in this game and while he has done decent on the year in this game he has to face a hard hitting Astros team in the game. With that being the case, the Astros are going to really be able to win this game and control the game, but also have a chance to shut down the Royals game rather easily as Cole has been a dominate pitcher on the year. Final Score, Houston Astros win 10-2.
