Colorado Rockies -170
The Rockies are three games back of the wild card and will need to win these two remaining games before playing tough competition down the stretch. Roy Halladay won his 20th game last night and Jimenez will be looking to do the same tonight against a pretty bad baseball team. The Rockies need every win they can get and should do so against weaker competition behind the better pitcher. Take Colorado.

Houston (-110) for 2.5 Units
We'll jump back on the Astros here despite that disastrous 8th inning collapse. Yesterday's Houston starter - Happ mowed down the Nationals for 6 innings allowing just 3 hits and no runs. Tonight, another quality southpaw Wandy Rodriguez who is in good form, should be equally effective. Rodriguez has 20 strike outs over his last 13 innings of work and he's been rock solid in his last 4 road appearances. Tonight, he faces a Nationals' lineup that this month is batting a meager .160 vs lefties. We'll look for him to go deeper into this game and then for Brad Mills to use the struggling Astros' bullpen more effectively. We'll also look for the Houston lineup to get the best of Jason Marquis. Marquis, who is 2-9 in team starts over his last 11, couldn't get out of the 1st inning at Philadelphia last Friday giving up 6 ER. Houston should jump on him early here. Houston has exhibited resiliency going 8-1 off losses; moreover, they're 16-5 on Wednesdays, 7-1 on Wednesday with Rodriguez and 12-4 in game 3 of a series with Rodriguez. The Astros are also 6-1 with Rodriguez against Washington. Houston the call.
