This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the Houston Astros.

I think we're getting fantastic line value on Collin McHugh and the home side today. McHugh is 4-0 with a 3.23 ERA this season and is 11-0 with a 2.31 ERA in 16 starts since the beginning of August. There is some room to read between the lines with that record and there's no doubt that McHugh has struggled against the NL throughout his career but I still think he is much better than Giants' starter Chris Heston, who is 2-3 with a 3.38 ERA. Heston looked decent to open the year but has since regressed, he's 0-2 with a deplorable 6.48 ERA over his last three outings, giving up five runs and 11 hits in five innings in Wednesday's 9-1 loss to San Diego. MLB handicapping primarily comes down to the starting pitching and as mentioned off the top, I think we're getting pretty good value on McHuge and the ASTROS.
