Free Betting Pick: Houston Astros -170
The Houston Astros have once again stormed out to one of the best records in the MLB, and a huge reason for their success has been their top 5 pitching staff. The Houston Astros come into this matchup throwing one of their best guys as Gerrit Cole has been great during his time in Houston while Tyler Mahle is struggling for the Cincinnati Reds. Mahle is only in his 2nd season in the MLB, and he has been hit or miss to this point, but he won’t have success against a powerful Astros team. The Houston Astros are a respectable 21-14 on the road this season, and I think they roll in this one. Final Score Prediction, Houston Astros win 6-3.
