Astros 1st 5 ML (-180) MGM
Astros ML (-192) DraftKings
Astros’ SP Hunter Brown has won 4 of his last 5 starts. If you take out the loss to the Twins, he’s given up 3 earned runs in four games (0 earned runs in two). Pirates’ SP Bailey Falter is going in the opposite direction, losing 4 of his last 5 starts, and getting pulled in the 3rd inning previous start vs. the Mets.
The downfall of the Pirates this season has been their offense. They’re in the bottom 5 of the league in on-base and slugging percentages. They rank 26th in strikeouts (9.1 p/g)
Houston is now tied for first place in the AL West and just came off a series win vs. the Dodgers. I think they’ll forget yesterday’s loss and return to form.
Lordes Gurriel over 1.5 total bases (-110) Draftkings
Ketel Marte over 1.5 total bases (-124) BetRivers
I enjoy going against Patrick Corbin. He is 2-10 with a 5.26 ERA this season.
Gurriel is 2-3 with two singles lifetime vs. Corbin.
Marte is 5-12 with 2 home runs, a double, and 4 RBI.
Gurriel boasts a .418 lifetime BA vs. the Nationals. In his last 7 games vs. the Nationals, he has had, at least, 2 hits each game.
Since the All-Star break, Marte is batting .371 with 5 HRs and 14 RBI.
I’ll take Gurriel and Marte to, both, go over the total bases prop.
