Astros bullpen ERA of 4.11 could be the deciding factor as Tampa Bay Rays protect their postseason lead

I had a disastrous start to the NCAA College Football season, but the NFL has given us two solid victories.

I hit a first touchdown scorer play yesterday as well, but of course, I didn't add it to the article.

Today we still have football, but it is college football, and to be honest, I'm not overly interested in those games.

Instead, I'm going to stick with baseball, which has funded a lot of my football bets this season and in previous years.

We are nearing just two weeks remaining in the season, and teams still have a lot to play for, including the Astros and Rays .

Believe it or not, the Houston Astros are still one of the better teams in the league.

It seems almost impossible that the Astros could be winning games, considering they've traded away or let so many guys walk in free agency.

They have had issues with injuries, and their pitching staff is one of the least exciting in baseball.

They've tried with a variety of guys, but with a team ERA of 4.52 and a WHIP of 1.35, there isn't much to be excited about when it comes to their rotation.

They did call up Miguel Ullola, who takes the ball today for the Astros.

He is really more of a reliever than a starter.

His last appearance was on Sunday, and he threw one inning, allowing one hit and a strikeout against the Diamondbacks.

I'm not quite sure how deep into this game he will go, but he's never pitched more than two innings in a stint in his career, so my guess is that it won't be overly deep.

Collectively, the Astros have the 17th-ranked bullpen in baseball with an ERA of 4.11.
