Shane’s Free Pick
Berrios was better in the last star, but he still sits with an ERA of 7.71 and I don’t trust him. In the first game the Astros scored seven runs, and they are going to have no issue running up the score in this game. The Blue Jays won’t be keeping up and the Astros are going to get the job done. Back the Astros.
