MLB picks for Sunday, August 7

Houston's lineup had major struggles in Saturday's loss, but I think the Astros will bounce back Sunday. With Christian Javier on the mound, the Astros shouldn't allow more than three runs. I expect a 2+ run win by the Astros against Cleveland today.

Coming off four straight losses, the Yankees badly need a win today. They're still one of the top teams in MLB, but they have played poorly over the last few games. I think their bats will wake up in this one and get to Adam Wainwright early. In Frankie Montas' first start with New York, look for a big Yankees win.

This has been a rough season for Chicago to say the least. The White Sox were the World Series contenders prior to the season, and they're now doing everything they can just to make the wild card. However, the Rangers have had their struggles as well. I expect the Lucas Giolito to pitch well and the White Sox win Sunday.

I honestly think the Mariners could go over this total themselves. Coming off a tough loss, I would expect their lineup to be at their best. I also think the Angels will get a few run off Marco Gonzales, so look for this to be a high-scoring contest.
