Jose Altuve: The Astros' second baseman has been quietly having a fantastic season, batting .295 while racking up 26 RBIs and 10 home runs. If anyone is going to find a way to get to Logan Webb and his 2.92 ERA, it's Altuve.
San Francisco Giants
Logan Webb: The Astros' offense has been hot of late so it's up to Logan Webb to slow them down. He's allowed more than two runs only once in his last six starts, so he needs to keep that trend up for the Giants to win this game.
Astros vs. Giants Prediction and Pick
Framber Valdez (3.53 ERA) gets the start for the Astros today which could work in favor of the Giants, who are eighth in the Majors in OPS against left-handed pitchers. Their OPS improves from .674 against right-handed pitchers to .739 against lefties.
If there's a time to bet on the Giants, it's when they take on a lefty like they do this afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Giants will be starting Logan Webb, who has been fantastic this season with a 2.92 ERA.
I'll back San Francisco as a slight home favorite.
