Chip's MLB Money Game Best Bet (Nats/Indians)
(MLB) Houston vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -147.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
Houston at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET
Pirates over Astros- This line is awfully high when you consider that the Pirates have just lost three straight st home and are up against Houston who just swept the Orioles in Baltimore. The reason just might be the performances of the Astros' Doug Fister (11-8, 3.76 ERA) who has been ruffed up in his last two starts surrendering nine runs in his last 11 innings. Maybe the factor is that Pittsburgh is 14-5 in the last 19 meetings with Houston. Jameson Taillon (3-2, 3.00) has had six straight quality starts and wins here. Take PITTSBURGH!
