Sunday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – Iti is the rubber match Sunday afternoon in the interleague series pitting the Houston Astros and the Toronto Blue Jays. What does game three have in store?
Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com have made the host Blue Jays a -135 favorite in the matchup and the Astros are a +125 underdog. The over-under is listed at 7.5. Game time is set for 1:07PM EST.
Left-handed Wandy Rodriguez will take his turn in the rotation for the Astros and comes in with a 2-3 record along with a 3.45 ERA. Kyle Drabek starts for Houston and he is 2-3 with a 4.32 ERA.
Houston won the opener in the series 5-2 Friday night, but Toronto rebounded Saturday with a come-from-behind 7-5 victory behind two Jose Bautista home runs.
MLB Free Pick: With this amount of plus money, I like the Astros here with Wandy on the hill. Rodriguez has been more consistent as of late than during previous stages of his career and is coming off a great performance at Atlanta, showing he can pitch on the road. The rookie Drabek has never faced the Astros according to the latest trends, while Rodriguez is 1-0 with an ERA of 3.00 in one career start against the Jays. Drabek hasn’t been consistent for Toronto thus far and is still young, so I expect Houston to put up some runs against him. Give me the Astros +125.
SUNDAY MLB FREE PICK: HOUSTON ASTROS +125
