Washington Nationals vs. Houston Astros 4* Free MLB Betting Pick:
At the current price of -235 on the moneyline, there just isn’t enough value in taking the Astros straight-up. Also, they don’t have a great track record vs. the runline as the favorite this season. Instead, I’ll be taking the Nationals to keep things interesting and cover the runline as road underdogs.
