I love betting on teams who I know will have big seasons who are due positive regression. I might be delusional but I still view Houston as a potential 100 win team that will get hot any second now. The Astros lost the last series and now get a chance at bouncing back against the Giants.
Today, on the mound for Houston, is Luis Garcia. He started the year incredibly slow, but in his last two starts, he looks like a changed man. In his last 13 innings, he has not allowed a single run. San Francisco is 4-9 on the road and faces a due Houston team that should be motivated to get back on top of their division.
For San Francisco, Ross Stripling is on the mound. He holds a brutal 6.89 ERA this season and faces a Houston lineup that is scarier than most he has faced this season. We just need a lead after five innings. San Francisco is coming off a game in Mexico City yesterday with crazy elevation and now comes back to reality in this game. With no time to adjust, I like them to struggle tonight and Houston to bang up Stripling enough to cash us. Let's roll!
