The San Francisco Giants have started the season at 3-1. Pitching has led to the good start as the Giants staff has allowed just 12 total runs through their first four games. Houston is 2-2, and has had equal success on the mound allowing 12 runs over their four games. The issue for the Astros has been producing runs. Through four games they have scored a total of eight runs, and their four games have averaged just five total runs per contest. Both these teams are pitching great, and the way the Houston offense has struggled, I like the UNDER in this one.

Premium Picks
Houston at San Francisco
There have been several surprise teams this season on a positive note, but there is also a surprise regarding this Houston team. Everyone thought the Astros would be in the mix to go all the way, but the season is not looking to be anything close to that. Houston is 30-37 on the season, dealing with injuries to their rotation, and has not been the same team. This club has been overachieving with their pitching the past 12 games, while at the same time they are underachieving at the plate. Oddsmakers have been off regarding their totals, as Houston has played UNDER in nine of their last 12 games. The Giants are in the same boat and stand two games below .500 on the season, with three of their last four playing UNDER. Go with the UNDER in this one.

Houston at San Francisco
Houston plays its fifth straight road contest on a 6-8 run. Ronel Blanco has walked 27 battrers in 64+ innings pitched, and the team has lost his last two starts to St. Louis (4-2) and to Minnesota (6-1), each time as a favorite. On the road, he's walked 14 in 30+ innings. The Astros are 13-24 when the moneyline is -100 to -150. San Francisco has won four of five and plays its second straight home game after beating Houston yesterday, 4-3. Jordan Hicks (2.82 ERA) has a 2.52 ERA at home where he's holding batters to a .225 average while walking just seven in 39+ innings. The offense is 13th in runs scored and 10th in on-base percentage, so back home field. Play San Francisco.
