Betting Odds Preview
Houston Astros at Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates and Astros are both 3.5 games back of their respective wild-card races so every game from here on is basically a playoff game for these two clubs. Rookie Joe Musgrove fell back to earth in his last start and will look to get back on track on the road vs Ivan Nova (9-6, 4.83 ERA).
