Season Projections

A tough night at the plate for the Astros and my concerns about Abreu grows.

Javier needs a good outing, not necessarily for the bullpen’s sake as we’ll see below, but the Astros need a W.

Today’s Pitching Matchup

Advantage Gausman.

Whit Merrifield has terrorized Javier.

Bullpen Usage

Ryan Pressly is in the Witness Protection Program.

K Prop

Three times through the rotation I feel like I’m starting to get dialed in a bit. My number is showing 6.27 for Javier and with the market at 6, I’m tempted to take the over, but will hold off.

Odds

Houston is +100 and as the matchup above indicates, this could be a tough one for the Astros. No bet from me.

Projected Standings

Things change quickly in a head-to-head matchup decided by 8 runs this early in the season.

May not mean anything note of the day

Ryan Pressly last pitched on Tuesday, April 11th.
