Houston Astros vs St. Louis Cardinals. The MLB pick for this game is the Houston Astros. Given how disappointing the Cardinals were this year, one must wonder if John Mozeliak will be willing to trade at the deadline.

Although Montgomery won two of his last three appearances, the Cardinals lost 10 of his previous starts. Given his peripherals, Valdez should be better than 7-5 after a strong performance.

The Houston Astros will win by a predicted score of 6-4.
