Rocket To Burn Phils
By: Marc Lawrence
The Astros and Phils open a big series in Philadelphia, and the smart money will be on Houston's main man, Roger Clemens.
This is a big series for both teams in the wild and wooly race in the NL Wildcard chase.
Roger Clemens remains in terrific K:W form with four walks and 25 strikeouts in his last four starts. In fact, he's won his last four road starts while issuing only three walks against 19 strikeouts in the process.
With the Rocket having cashed in 15 of his last 19 team starts from September out, look for the Astros to come up winners for the eighth time in their last 10 games in Philadelphia.
