LISTED STARTERS

PFAADT/ VALDEZ

Our selection is on the Arizona/ Houston game OVER 8

We have a couple of our situations that we like to play taking place in this game. First things first the Astros were shutout yesterday and now that means runs in the next game for a very good hitting club. We also have Astros first home after only a 3 game road trip so we do not play against the Astros. What we do have is an Arizona club who is by far the best MLB team hitting LH pitching. We also have a situation we like as we like to play against the pitcher who had a no hitter. Here is the problem Valdez only went 7 no hit innings. However, we will look for regression in the next start as we always do even if he went 8 or 9 innings. The Diamondbacks send Brandon Pfaadt to the hill and we see runs for the Astros against Brandon. He sported an ugly 6.04 ERA and a WHIP of 1.45 in August. Truthfully things do not look much different for Brandon in this start. Two teams that can score runs helps us as well in this one. Arizona is just a dead OVER team and when we have a LH starter against this team it means runs and we know Houston might be able to carry the total for us especially if Pfaadt keeps up his terrible pitching. 

So lets get the job done with the Arizona/ Houston game OVER 8
