Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals. The MLB pick for this game is the Houston Astros. This is a clash between two clubs that were trending in opposing directions as the season progressed.

Houston went into high gear and is now rolling over other teams, which is why they are leading the AL West race by a large margin. Meanwhile, Kansas City disintegrated and is now buried in the AL Central cellar as their pitching continues to let them down.

Heasley continues to give out too many free passes, which may be dangerous against a deep and powerful Houston group. Valdez is on a roll right now, and he should have no issue handcuffing Kansas City’s starting lineup. Take the Astros as they cruise to a one-sided win. The Houston Astros will win to a predicted score of 5-1.
