Updated Projections - 15 of 162

Astros improve to 7-8 behind Hunter Brown's excellence

Composition of Projections:

2023 Actuals: 9.3%

Preseason Projections: 90.7%

Season Projections

Mauricio Dubon continues to hit and Yordan Alvarez continues to knock runs in.

Hunter Brown has been the Astros best starter three times thru the rotation.

Today’s Pitching Matchup

Slight advantage Valdez, but today could be the day Jose Abreu breaks out.

Bullpen Usage

Seven innings from Brown means the bullpen is in good shape for the series finale.

K Prop

I’m beginning to feel better about my numbers and today is 6.37 and with the market at 7, I’ll take the under.

Not just because my number is lower, but because Framber can’t end up with 7.5 strikeouts. To beat the market he has to hit 8.

Odds

Astros are -200, which of course means $100 returns $50. Yikes. However, Astros -1.5 is +106. So, the odds tell you the Astros are favored to win and in 15 games this season the Astros have played 3 one-run games, or 20%. Odds are Astros will win and by more than 1. Take the Astros -1.5.

Projected Standings

Well, well, well.

May not mean anything note of the day

Astros starting pitching has 4 quality starts in the last 6 games.
