It's been crazy at work, so this will be short an sweet.

The Astros are not a good team and the Giants should be thankful they get a chance to face them when the team is still reeling with injuries and an offense that has managed to score only 2.7 runs a game this month.

A series win would salvage a .500 road trip, which would be quite the accomplishment.

The odds:

	Astros	Giants
Game 1	47%	53%
Game 2	38%	62%
Game 3	43%	57%
Sweep	7.56%	18.96%
2 out 3	31.15%	42.32%
1 out 3	42.32%	31.15%
0 out 3	18.96%	7.56%
Win Series	39%	61%
Lose Series	61%	39%

The Giants are favored in every game and have a very good chance of winning this series. If they can score some runs, they might have a decent chance to get a much needed sweep to put some pressure on the Diamondbacks.
