Astros: Play to -133: Matt Moore was a brilliant prospect a few years ago but injuries have given him more time in the rehab room than on the field. That may have taken its toll as he is just as unimpressive in this comeback attempt as he was in the last. I feel for the guy, I really do, but he has not produced a win or a quality start last year or this. McCullers has set a high mark for himself, but at 6-4 h2h and 9-1 for quality starts it looks like he can carry it. Darn good bounce back position for the Astros as they are not used to getting shut out and losing with Keuchel on the hill.  

Angels: Play to -124. Here is another good bounce back spot as the Angels are not accustomed to getting shut out either, especially not versus righty lately. Heck of a job by Iwakuma but that should serve as motivation today and Heaney is a faced with a Mariners line up that hasn’t exactly been killing good left handed pitching.

Note: I would love to take the Braves today as the Rockies are a very poor lefty hitting club, but it bothers me that after 2 pitches that cost us a game Friday night Wood is coming back not unrested, but out of rhythm, something that can really effect a pitchers performance. Tempted, but I think I will pass.
