Again, only 1 game on the card for Friday. Usually it will be either 1,3, or 5.
Record = 2-0 (+2.1 units)
Pick= Pittsburgh +100
Reason= Pittsburgh is off a 6 game losing streak and the All-Star break came at a great time for them. Zach Duke pitched against Houston last year and shut them out in a Complete Game shutout. As bad as Pittsburgh is so is Houston as they are atrocious on the road while the Pirates are near .500 at home. Zach Duke is coming back from the injury which probably explains some of the troubles he had. He is a good pitcher and the Pirates are letting him kick off the 2nd half of the season because he is their ace. He looked pretty solid in his rehab appearancess after coming back from the elbow although that was the minors. TAKE PITTSBURGH +100
