Pick
I’m on the Astros here. I just don’t trust the Giants right now as Logan Webb just hasn’t been his ace level self from last season. Framber Valdez has been up and down but I think he’s a lot better than his 2-3 record would indicate, especially when you look at his numbers game-to-game. The Giants got one on Tuesday, but I think the Astros get revenge. Give me Houston.
