Free Houston Astros vs. Tampa Bay Rays MLB Prediction:
This game is going to be closer than people think. Look for Justin Verlander to pitch well, but give up some early runs. Ryan Stanek could possibly shut down the Astros lineup until he is pulled. Take the Astros for the close in.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: UNDER 7
Both pitchers have performed well against each others lineups this year. Look the Astros to ride Verlander’s arm until the seventh or eight inning. Not many runs will be scored in this one. Take the Astros for the win.
