Free MLB Pick

The Angels have lost 3 of their last 4 games when Andrew Heaney has gotten the start and in his last outing he went 5 innings and gave up 5 earned runs in a 6-4 loss to the L.A. Dodgers. When he made his debut for the Angels this season he went 6 innings and only gave up 1 run in a 2-1 L.A. win over Houston in 13 innings. In his last 2 starts at home he has given up 13 runs in 8 innings in 2 losses. In Mike Friers last outing he gave up 4 runs in 5 innings in a 10-9 loss to the Oakland A’s. In his previous 4 starts he was 2-0 with an ERA of only 0.67 and he threw a no-hitter.

I am going with the visiting Astros in this one, as Heaney will have another tough outing the Houston bats will get to him early.
