MLB Pick of the Day: April 15

Game: Houston Astros @ Pittsburgh Pirates
League: MLB
Pick: Pittsburgh Pirates
Offered at: -110

Reason For Pick:
See April 13th pick. These two teams faced off two days ago and the Pirates walked away with an easy 7-0 shut out victory. The Astro's bats have been pathetic so far this year averaging only 2.3 runs a game while hitting .234. Pirates' pitcher Ross Ohlendorf was solid in his 2009 debut holding the St. Louis Cardinals to 2 earn runs over in 6 innings. Injury prone Mike Hampton gets the start for the Astros. I don't think he'll be lasting too deep into the game which means Houston will be turning to their struggling bullpen early in this one.
