Result: Win
This is an 8* RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Houston Astros.

The Astros are rolling at the plate and with what we feel to be the superior starter backing them today, we look for the visitors to take this one down to the wire, making the RUN-LINE the savvy option in this particular matchup. Collin McHugh (13-7, 3.96 ERA) gets the call for the visitors and despite having gone 1-2 over his last four starts, has posted a tiny 1.67 ERA. Most recently the right-hander gave up one run over seven innings in a 1-0 loss to Tampa on Thursday, receiving no runs of support over his last two games and just one in his past three. McHugh has been solid though, he's given up two or fewer runs in six of his last seven outings and note that he did win his only start vs. the Yanks back on June 28th 3-1, going eight innings of two hit, one run ball. The home side counters with Michael Pineda (9-7, 3.97 ERA) who returns from the DL to fill in for CC Sabathia; Pineda has been all over the map with his consistency this season, but owns a respectable 2.57 ERA in two career starts vs. the Astros. We're expecting a battle today after yesterday's blowout, so in a game which we see being decided late or in extras, we'll gladly lay the price on HOUSTON for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance.
