The Houston Astros roll into Kauffman Stadium tonight to take on the Kansas City Royals in a matchup where neither club is doing much to write home about — Houston's sitting at 32-39 and KC's even worse at 28-42, so this one's more about staying out of the cellar than anything else. Vegas likes the Royals at home, putting them as -126 favorites with the over/under parked at 9.5, which tells you the books think the bullpens are going to get some work done late.

Both these offenses have been streaky all year, but the heart of the order for Houston can still put one in the seats if a starter gets into his stuff early and leaves something over the plate. My bold call: this game goes to extras and somebody gets a walk-off on a sloppy fastball from a reliever who had no business being out there in the ninth.
