Free MLB Pick

Both of tonight’s starters are having good seasons with ERAs under 3.50. They’ve both allowed a season high 4 runs and have done on that on only one occasion. McHugh has pitched well against the Angels with 2 or fewer runs allowed in all four of his starts versus them. Santiago got beat up in both of his starts last season against the Astros but he lucks out not having to face Matt Dominguez who has 3 RBIs in 6 at bats versus him. It should also be noted that Houston has scored a total of 5 runs in their last 3 games and that this season’s series total numbers are 0-2-1 versus the O/U line.
