HOU: Pettitte (1-1, 8.18 ERA)
ARI: Webb (0-0, 2.77 ERA)
Houston looks to follow up last game's win at San Francisco with another Friday when they send Andy Pettitte to the hill against the Diamondbacks.
The Diamondbacks start Brandon Webb, 0-0, 2.77 ERA.
Arizona brings a 4-5 overall mark (3-3 in the division) into this game versus a Houston team carrying a 6-3 record.
Houston comes in as a small road dog, as the line opened at 125 in favor of the hosts. The Diamondbacks, who are 4-5 this season, face the Astros and their 6-3 slate. The OVER/UNDER has been set at 8.5.
Phil Garner's team hopes to build upon an 8-0 win over the Giants. They were 130 favorites in a game that went as a push against the total.
Bob Melvin's troops were at home against the Rockies last game and came away with a 5-3 loss, a game that went under 10. Oddsmakers had them as favorites.
The hosts have strikeout specialists on staff and they rank first in the league, whiffing 8.1 per game. They will be looking to prove that reputation true again today.
Some trends to consider:
Houston is 2-5-1 OU in its last 8 games against Arizona
Houston is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 away
Houston is 2-2-2 OU in its last 6 games
Houston is 9-4-0 OU in its last 13 games away against Arizona
Arizona is 9-4-0 OU in its last 13 games at home against Houston
Arizona is 6-3-0 SU in its last 9 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs
Arizona is 3-6-1 OU in its last 10 at home
Arizona is 2-5-1 OU in its last 8 games against Houston
