The Astros are very difficult to beat at home and that is going to really show up in this game here. However, the Astros are a team that will really take advantage of Richard who is a younger pitcher without a lot of innings on his arm this year and that will show up big in this game here as the Astros take advantage of his inexperience. Final Score, Houston Astros win 8-2.
