Free Betting Pick: Houston Astros -170
The Houston Astros have dominated the Texas Rangers in recent history as they have won 9 of their last 12 matchups. Gerrit Cole is an elite pitcher for the Houston Astros while Mike Minor has continued to struggle during the last few seasons in Texas. The Houston offense needs to start consistently producing if this team wants to get back to the World Series. George Springer is one of the best leadoff hitters in the MLB, and I expect him to once again make an impact against the run-prone Mike Minor. Houston wins, 7-3.
