Pick
The Astros haven’t played their best baseball over the last two weeks and they are dealing with quite a few injuries, while Cincinnati is playing some of their best baseball this year. Cincinnati is starting Luke Weaver, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts, but he does have a 6.23 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP this season. Houston is starting Ronel Blanco, who has allowed four earned runs over 11.1 innings pitched in his last two starts. I think we are going to see quite a few runs in this Game and I like the over.
