The Houston Astros are dangling by a thread, trying to get a wild card spot and if they lose today to the LA Angels, you might as well put a dagger in their heart, however there is still life. The Astros will send the kid from El Cajon California to the hill today, Joe Musgrove. Musgrove is 3-4 on the season, with a 4.42 ERA, a WHIP of 1.24 and has been lights out at Minute Maid Park, going 2-1 with a stingy ERA of 1.86. Daniel Wright will take the hill for the Angels today and he has been struggling. Wright is 0-2 on the season, with a 7.36 ERA, a 1.57 WHIP and in his last outing he did not look good, surrendering 5 runs on 9 hits in just 4-2/3 innings of work. The Angels are 6-15 in their last 21 in Houston.
Today’s pick:
Houston Astros
It’s a sad day today. We lost José Fernández. RIP, José.
