The Astros are heavy home favorites Saturday with Colin McHugh on the mound. McHugh has battled injuries to return to the starting rotation with an 0-2 record and a 4.88 ERA, certainly not worthy numbers for a high favorite against a capable pitcher in Kendall Graveman. But seek the value as the Astros solidify their home dominance against the abysmal A's 19-38 road record.
The Athletics are hitting .310 against Houston starter Collin McHugh, while Oakland starter Kendall Graveman has had success against the Houston lineup, allowing the Astros just a .216 clip. The disparity in the teams' records accounts for the price Saturday, but this is a solid situational play on the underdog.
