Result: Loss
The Houston Astros are by far the superior team here with the better pitcher on the mound.
This powerhouse team hits for more than just average, and Houston has no liability defensively either. Houston had a great half season this year, hitting .282 - and they have not regressed during the season.
The Astros have hit .274 as a team lifetime against Liriano with an OBP of .308, and Liriano has struggled in night games this season with an ERA over 6.00.
Houston starter McCullers has pitched solid on the road this season with opponents hitting just .217 against him leaving him with an ERA of just 3.02 over 8 road starts.
McCullers has also pitched solid in night games this season with opponents hitting just .205 against him over 10 starts, leaving him with a solid ERA of just 2.53 in night games.
Toronto is not nearly as good on defense as Houston either. They have put up big numbers and heavy runs/game this whole season - and will so again.
Liriano has only been striking out the bare minimum during his most recent that span - while bricking his ERA to 5.66 and his WHIP to 1.61. The game here has the Astros getting the edge in all phases of the game. Take HOUSTON here on Thursday night.
