2 Picks.
8:05PM EST: Rangers ML -105 (2 Units).
HOU SP Hunter Brown has a 4.61 ERA on the road this season. He was much better on the road last year but that didn't stop him from getting hammered in Texas. He's made 2 career starts @ TEX, one this year and one last. Last year he gave up 3 runs on 10 hits over 4 IP. This year he gave up 5 runs on 8 hits and 4 walks over 3 IP. The Rangers offense has struggled this year, but they just put up 6 and 7 runs in 2 of their 3 Home games against Boston in their last series. TEX sends out Andrew Heaney who has allowed 3ER or less in 7 straight Home Appearances. HOU is considerably worse vs LHP, ranking 19th in OPS compared to 8th vs RHP.
8:05PM: Cubs ML +105 (4 Units).
Kyle Hendricks has a rather ugly ERA, but he's pitched well since he was moved back into the starting rotation. He's allowed 3 ER or less in 6 of his last 8 starts. He also tossed 4.1 scoreless innings of relief before he got his starting job back. One of the starts he failed to allow less than 3 runs was in KC a couple starts back. He had 2 outs and nobody on base in the 5th and then proceeded to give up 6 runs without recording an out. A couple of weakly hit balls extended the inning and Salvy sent one over. Just a bit of tough luck but he's really pitched well the past couple Months. The big ticker is the wind blowing in. When Hendricks struggles it’s via the long ball and that's tricky business at Home. The Wind has a greater impact on the ball at Wrigley Field compared to any other park in baseball. Fortunately for him there's 15MPH winds blowing in and at least 10+ all night.
Rookie David Festa will start for the Twins. He's coming off a couple decent outings against the Mets his last time out and the Phillies 2 starts back. Two offenses that were really struggling, Philly ranks 24th in OPS over the last 15 days while the Mets rank 27th over the last week. This Chicago team and offense is surging, winning 3 of 4 against their division rival Cardinals and 4 of their last 5 overall scoring a combined 34 runs during the process.
