AAA's 5-GAME FRIDAY NIGHT DESTRUCTION PASS (BREAK-OUT-THE-BROOMS!)
(MLB) Houston vs. Oakland,
Money Line: -160.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Houston Astros.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we absolutely believe that Colin McHugh and the hard-hitting visiting side could/should easily be much larger ones.

McHugh: He's 2-2 with a 3.25 ERA. McHugh most recently gave up one unearned run off four hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Texas on Thursday. It was just the first time that he'd failed to throw into the six frame since returning from the DL in mid July. To go along with his solid 3.25 ERA, McHugh also owns a 1.24 WHIP and decent 8.5 K/9.

Jharel Cotton: He's 7-10 with a 5.53 ERA. Cotton most recently gave up four runs off seven hits over four innings in a fortunate no-decision against the Mariners on Saturday. Cotton owns a poor 1.46 WHIP over 114 innings of work and has been horrible at home by going just 3-6 with a 7.09 ERA.

The bottom line: Recent form displayed by these starters suggests that McHugh could in fact be a much larger fav in this matchup. Play on the ASTROS.
