Pittsburgh (McDonald)(-140) at Houston (Harrell) 2:05 ET

5* Shocker of the Day

 Houston +130

Pirates have won the first 3 in this series because of their superior bullpen and better late inning defense.  For that reason, my recommendation is that you make this a 5 inning play.  Sure these teams are headed opposite directions but so are today’s starters.  As well as Jay Mac has pitched for the season, he has a 8.62 ERA for the season.  Meanwhile, the Astros have won 5/7 Harrell home starts in which he has a 1.99 ERA.  The youngster has allowed just 1 run in each of his last 3 starts.  This sets up as an ideal 5 inning play on Houston
