Scouting Report: Colt 45's: They'll have to perform better vs Milwaukee than they did vs the Mets (split 4 games.). Houston has trouble winning away from the pre-fab cavernous Colt Stadium that they play home games in. How long can they ride the hot bats of Roman Mejias and Norm Larker ?. Braves: Just dropped 3 of 4 to the 9th place Cardinals. Del Crandall had his 12 game hitting streak snapped, but is still hitting over .330. Aaron is at .298 and inching up to .300. The pitching is the real reason this team is floundering. The starters have unusually high ERA's and that just might be due to the bullpen not being able to hold a lead.
