Astros vs. Giants Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Wednesday, Aug. 12

In this story:
The Houston Astros are hoping to end their road trip on a high note as they close out their series against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon.
The Astros won the opener 6-3 in San Diego before dropping their next two games, and got another 6-3 victory to start their series in San Francisco before last night’s 4-1 loss.
That win ended a three-game skid for the Giants, who are still just 2-5 in their last seven games.
Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Astros vs. Giants on Wednesday, Aug 12.

Astros Best MLB Prop Bet
- Cam Smith OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-118)
Cam Smith has been stepping up as of late for Houston. The outfielder is 17 for 41 (.415) with three home runs, two doubles, and a triple in his last 11 games.
Smith has gone OVER 1.5 HRR in both games in this series, six of his last seven contests, and eight of his last 10.
Astros vs. Giants Prediction and Pick
I don’t necessarily trust either of today’s starting pitcher situations, but I don’t have much faith in these offenses either.
There have been 14 runs scored through two games in this series, and the Astros’ big bats have gone cold recently.
I’ll take the UNDER at a pitcher-friendly Oracle Park.
Pick: UNDER 8.5 (-118)
