Houston Astros vs Tampa Bay Rays. The MLB pick for this game is the Houston Astros. Although Tampa Bay performed admirably at home this year, there are certain rotational difficulties that will need to be resolved.

The team’s loss to Jeffrey Springs was a big setback because they now have to search for a good substitute, at least until Tyler Glasnow is able to play again.

Jose Altuve is still out for Houston as he recovers from a World Baseball Classic injury.

The rotation benefited from Brown’s strong output, and the Astros’ middle of the lineup remains a threat. The Houston Astros will win to a predicted score of 7-2.
