Greg Smith is likely to take the mound against the Astros Felipe Paulino.
Smith returns to the rotation after being demoted to the bullpen and hasn’t pitched since May 10.
He had surrendered at least four runs in three of his last four starts prior to being removed from the rotation (1-2, 6.35 ERA).
The Rockies arrived in Texas late Tuesday night after finishing up a two-game series in Chicago.
Paulino struck out seven while giving up two earned in 6.0 innings of work in his last start against the Rockies.
It’s scary backing Houston in any situation but I think they can steal a game here.
Pick: Astros
