My free play matches the same team I nailed yesterday as my 1000♦ Winner, as I like the Houston Astros to keep rolling over the Baltimore Orioles.
The defending World Series champion Houston Astros are riding a four-game win streak, and will make it three straight over the struggling Baltimore Orioles, who have now lost four in a row.
MAKE NOTE: All Run Line/Total plays automatically list pitchers with the starters who are scheduled to go at the time of the wager. But with this game I am not concerned with who goes for either team tonight and want you playing this game on the Run Line regardless. That being said, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be sure you have action even if one of the pitchers scheduled to start is scratched, by re-wagering the game if that takes place.
Alright, so with these Astros, they appear to be ready for a breakout month to start the season. They're hitting .288 after their first six games - third-best in the bigs - and lead the league with 27 extra basehits.
Houston has rapped 17 doubles, 2 triples and 8 home runs, and it ranks third in the league with a slugging percentage of .508. Three of those home runs came last night, including a seventh-inning grand slam.
The Astros, they're good.
On the other hand, we have a Baltimore team that ranks second-to-last with a paltry .176 batting average and has scored a league second-worst 12 runs. The only team worse is San Francisco, which has scored 6 runs.
But here's the coupling problem for the Orioles, who have a 6.00 ERA - up from 4.86 last night. That won't help them against Houston's power-packed lineup. And the Astros, they have a team ERA of 2.72, fourth-best in baseball.
There are simply too many positive factors that reveal another blowout by Houston in this series.
Play the champs on the Run Line.

Wednesday comp play is for Felix Hernandez and Johnny Cueto to hook up in a late afternoon pitcher's duel at AT&T Park, as the Mariners and Giants hold Under the posted total.
The M's have played their last 3 on the season Over the total, including yesterday's opener in San Francisco, but it looks like Johnny Cueto has returned to form, as his season debut saw him retire the first 18 batters he faced as his team wound up with a 1-0 win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers last week.
King Felix will oppose, and he too was sharp in his debut, allowing 2 hits while fanning 5 in his 5-plus innings of work against the Indians. Hernandez has dominated interleague action, going 23-9 with a 2.92 ERA in his 42 career interleague starts. Included is a 3-0 mark against the Giants with a 1.86 ERA in his 4 starts against San Fran.
The Giants have only scored a total of 6 runs in their 5 games played this spring, so look for the pitchers to dominate.
Under in the M's-Giants game.

My free pick is on the Anaheim Ducks over the Minnesota Wild.
Minnesota is in. Anaheim is trying to get in.
The motivation is too great to ignore tonight, as the Ducks are in must-win mode. And since the Wild punched their playoff ticket on Monday, I don't know how much motivation they're going to have. In fact, something tells me they'll be flat after a perceived celebration.
The Ducks have built some momentum after scoring a pair of consecutive overtime wins to move into the top wild-card spot. They sit two points ahead of Colorado with a game in hand, but also trail Los Angeles by one point for third place in the Pacific Division.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see the Wild sit some key personnel on a maintenance day, as they've lost stalwart defenseman Ryan Suter, who suffered a fractured fibula Saturday versus Dallas. Minnesota was already without defenseman Jared Spurgeon, who is also injured. And, defenseman Gustav Olofsson is on the day-to-day list.
Coach Bruce Boudreau isn't about to let his team get any more banged up, especially against a team that plays heavy and can get physical.
Take the Ducks on the Puck Line.
