MLB Betting Odds – Free Picks:  Jason Hammel and A’s Decent Price With 1.57 ERA

Our second pick of the day will be on the Oakland Athletics -133 vs. the Houston Astros.   None of the books were going over -140 and our limit when it comes to picks is -145 so do a little line shopping before placing this bet.

The Athletics RH Jason Hammel (8-8, 3.41 ERA) is 2-1 with a 1.57 ERA in five games (four starts) vs. Houston and is coming off three straight poor starts so this could prove to be a good redemption time.

The Astros LH Dallas Keuchel (9-7, 3.11) is 0-2 with a 5.20 ERA in six career games - four starts - against Oakland, last yielding three runs in 6 1/3 innings against them on April 26.

Oakland has won three of the last four in this series and is 7-3 so far this season.

The Astros are 4-10 in Keuchel's last 14 home starts and 1-5 in Keuchel's last 6 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.

It is interesting to note that the total for today’s game is set at 8 and the OVER is 8-4 this season.  We are going to back away from the total for this game, however, but might deserve a look for more aggressive bettors.

This game goes off at 2:10 pm EST.
