The PLAY: Kansas City Royals -125 Mike Burrows (RHP), Noah Cameron (LHP) Must Start
After missing the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016, the Astros' decline has continued this season. Houston is headed for its first losing season in 12 years with a 32-39 record.
Of the many underperforming culprits on the Astros this player can go to the head of the line - Mike Burrows. Houston is 3-10 in Burrows' starts this season. It is easy to see why. Acquired in an off-season trade with the Pirates, Burrows has been beyond bad with a 5.77 ERA - highest among qualified starters - a 1.57 WHIP and a league-worst 17 homers allowed.
Opposing Burrows is lefty Noah Cameron, who after a slow start has allowed just six earned runs in 30 innings during his last five starts for a 1.80 ERA.
The Astros are 8-12 against southpaws and 21st in on base percentage against them.
Kansas City hits much better at home. The Royals rank 12th in runs when playing at home averaging 4.4 a game. They couldn't ask for a more vulnerable starter to go against.
