I like the value with the Giants in this game. There is a lotof money being placed on the Houston Astros tonight and I think they areovervalued. The reason for this is because they have Colin McHugh on the rubberand the Astros have won all 6 of his starts this season. There is a lot ofpressure on this kid to keep performing at such a high level and I don't thinkthat the Astros bats have enough to get him the win tonight.

Houston is only hitting .167 over their last 7 games,scoring only 3 runs a game. I will also note that the Astros got swept by theRangers last week when they were a favorite in all 3 games, and the Astros areonly 8-8 SU at home on the season.

I will also note that the Giants have won the last 6meetings vs. the Astros so we have a team that traditionally has beaten theAstros. Maybe the Astros are a little better this year and the Giants are notas good, but currently I think the Giants offense is hitting as good as theyhave all year long and they have a good chance to score enough runs to gettheir team the win tonight. The Giants are hitting .283 from the plate over thelast 6 games and I think they have the hotter lineup going into tonight's game.

The Giant's bullpen is solid as well with a 81.8% conversionrate on saves this season. The Giant's are 3-0 in interleague games this seasonand are 7-3 overall for the month of May, telling me that they are poised for awinning month.

Heston will take the rubber for the Giants and he has arespectable 1.39 WHIP on the season with a 20K/ 6 BB mark. He is coming off arough start vs. the Padres, but in Heston's other rough start this year (vs.the Rockies), he bounced back with a quality start vs. the Angels and I thinkhe bounces back tonight.

This line opened up Houston -135 and has went up to Houston-155 and I'm seeing SIA with Houston -170. Clearly there is too much money onHouston tonight and San Fran is the play tonight. Take the Giants on the MoneyLine as I think we see a final score in 5-3 range.
