If his recent efforts are any indication,
Travis Wood(notes) (1-3, 6.82) doesn’t seem likely to stop the Reds’ struggles. Wood allowed a season-worst seven runs and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings of a 7-6 loss to Florida on Friday, dropping him to 0-3 with an 8.39 ERA in five starts since winning his season debut.
The left-hander, who has lost his two most recent home outings while recording a 17.55 ERA, is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in two career starts against Houston.
I'm leaning towards the Astro's more value than taking the reds who are over priced.
