Mike Lundin‘s Astros vs. Blue Jays Free Pick July 8, 2017
Rating: 5/10*
Start Time: July 8, 2017, 1:05 PM
We won with the Houston Astros as a premium pick when they put a 12-2 beating on the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night. I predict another Houston win when the teams do battle again Saturday afternoon.
Houston hands the ball to Mike Fiers (5-3, 3.80 ERA) who’s coming off four scoreless innings against the Yankees. Fiers has allowed just seven runs on 16 hits in 30 innings over his last five outings and he has posted a 2.57 ERA in five day starts on the season.
Marcus Stroman (8-5, 3.42 ERA) will toe the slab for the Jays. He’s allowed just two runs in 12 2/3 innings in his last two starts, but I think he’ll find it hard to slow down the surging Astros. Note that Stroman has compiled a 4.54 ERA in six day starts this season, and Houston is averaging 6.85 runs per game on the road while the Jays are averaging just 3.95 rpg home at Rogers Centre.
The Astros are 9-2 in Fiers’ last 11 road starts and 12-4 in Fiers’ last 16 starts during Game 3 of a series.
Mike Lundin is on a 7-1 (88%) run with his premium MLB picks following a 3-0 SWEEP on Friday. INVEST in Saturday’s Top Rated 10* HIGH ROLLER *BOOKIE BREAKER* and MAKE YOUR BOOKIE PAY THE PRICE!
