Houston: Dallas Keuchel (7-12, 4.76 ERA) Baltimore: Yovani Gallardo (4-4, 5.18 ERA)

Dallas Keuchel goes for the Astros today and in his last outing he was not sharp giving up six earned runs in five innings in an 8-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Houston has lost four of his last five starts. The Astros are 2-5 in Keuchel’s last seven road starts facing a team with a winning record. Before his last start Keuchel had a complete game shutout, but in his start before that, which was his last on the road, he gave up seven earned runs in five innings in an 11-0 blowout loss to the Detroit Tigers.
</p>
<p>
Yovani Gallardo gets the starting call for the Orioles and in his last outing he went five innings and gave up three earned runs in a 5-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The Orioles have lost three of his last four starts, but he has not been bad in those outings with Baltimore only totaling four runs in the three losses. The Orioles are 5-1 in Gallardo’s last six home starts.
