Todays Pick:
Houston Astros -1.5 vs Cincinnati Reds
($100 TO MAKE $120)
Today, we will be taking the Houston Astros who have started to pick it up heading into the the break.
Winners of 8 our of the 10, they will be looking to make a strong push towards the top of the NL Central. The key to their resurgence has been their bats with the over hitting in 8 out of their last 10, while scoring 70 runs in that period.
The Astros will be sending their Ace, Roy Oswalt, to the mound today. Oswalt is 9-5 with a very respectable ERA of 3.35 and a WHIP of 1.27.
The Astros will be going against a team we will be fading in the second half - the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds have played way above their heads in the first half, their 12-17 mark in the month before the break indicating they are running out of gas.
Another example would be their pitcher today, Elmer Dessens. Dessens who boasts a 2.95 ERA (yes, you read that correctly!) is just 1-0 in his last 4 starts boasting an ERA of 4.40...
In short, we look for a hot hitting Astros team with their ace on the mound, to open with a strong win at Cincinnati.
Good Luck!
