Who Wins The Head To Head?

The market cannot split these two with both teams locked at 1.91 in head-to-head betting. Houston holds a 73-70 season record and sits top of their division, but they are coming off a tight 3-4 defeat against Arizona on Sun, 6 Sept. Prior to that setback, Houston had put together three straight victories, demonstrating their overall baseline strength.

Arizona arrives coming off that 4-3 victory over Houston on Sun, 6 Sept, bringing their recent record to two wins from their past five starts overall. The Diamondbacks have found runs hard to come by lately, averaging just 1.6 runs scored per game across their past five outings. With Eduardo Rodriguez pitching for Arizona against Peter Lambert for Houston, and recent head-to-head meetings split one apiece this month, Houston rates a real chance to bounce back on home soil.
