Another total for Tuesday.

The Pittsburgh Pirates start lefty Paul Maholm tonight. The Houston Astros hit .285 against left handed pitching, and Maholm is a crummy lefty. For the year his ERA is 4.69 and his batting average against is .290. On the road, his ERA jumps to 6.05 and his batting average against is .304. At Minute Maid Park this year, his ERA is 5.14. At Minute Maid from 2006-2008, his ERA was 8.70 and his batting average against was .337. In his last 4 outings, he has allowed 38 hits and 7 walks in only 21.1 innings.

Meanwhile, the Astros start Brian Moehler. On the year he has a 5.64 ERA and a .304 batting average against. At home his ERA is 7.81 and his batting average against is .359. For his career against the Pirates he is 6-5 with a 6.07 ERA. He is 1-1 against the Pirates this year with a 4.76 ERA and a .304 batting average against. He has seemingly pitched well lately (2.65 ERA over his last 3 starts), but don't let that fool you, as he has feasted mostly on the bottom-feeders of both leagues (San Diego, Kansas City, Minnesota, and Arizona).

These two teams have played 3 times this year at Minute Maid Park. All 3 have gone over the total. Tonight makes number 4.

Today's play is over 9 (-115) in the Astros vs. Pirates game.
