Randy’s Pick
The Houston Astros probably have the edge with Cristian Javier on the mound, but I need more bang for my buck if I'm going to back him on the road. The Los Angeles Angels have picked things up offensively as of late, and their extra inning victory last night could have a carry over effect. Near toss up price, give me the Angels at home.
