Kikuchi has been decent in his two starts with Houston since coming over from Toronto ahead of the trade deadline. His first start with the Astros came against these Rays, when he fanned 11 over 5.2 innings of a 3-2 Astros victory and being a lefty will keep their base running in check. Baz is still looking for his first win of the season and comes in with five straight no-decisions on the books. The Rays have had their struggles offensively all season long and that has been a major reason why they are a .500 club. Kikuchi has fared well against Tampa Bay in his career, and I look for the Astros to come up with the victory here.
