Greg Peterson has eight Best Bets for today’s MLB slate, including this one:

Cubs vs. Astros: Houston starter Framber Valdez owns a 2.88 ERA and has allowed two or fewer runs in eight of his past nine starts. However, he’ll face a Cubs lineup that ranks second in road scoring at nearly 5.6 runs per game. Cubs starter Jameson Taillon owns a 4.47 ERA and allows 2.1 home runs per nine, which increases to a 5.57 ERA and 2.6 HR/9 on the road.

 

Pick: Over 7.5 Runs (Greg’s Handicap: Total 8.2)

>Seven more picks from Greg.

Steve Makinen and Josh Appelbaum will file their daily contributions later this morning.
