Cash Out Sports Picks backed Houston because Framber Valdez (12-8, 3.40 ERA, 27 starts) continues to give length and limit damage, something the Astros bullpen welcomes after heavy work earlier in the set. Texas counters with Patrick Corbin (7-9, 4.48 ERA) who was tagged for five earned in his last appearance and has struggled against patient, powerful lineups—exactly what Houston showed in Saturday’s 11-0 blowout. With momentum and the veteran pitching edge, the tout made the Astros the clear moneyline choice.
