Season Projections

Mauricio Dubon continues to hit and his projections continue to rise.

Phil Maton has been phenomenal. See note below.

Today’s Pitching Matchup

Another pitcher the Astros have little experience against.

Bullpen Usage

Given the off day tomorrow, I would think everyone is available, though Maton has pitched in 3 of last 5 games.

K Prop

I’ve hit 4 in a row, but today is a BE CAREFUL day because while I have Brown comfortably over the 5.5 offered, my number is skewed a bit by the fact that the sample size is tiny at 11 PAs. That said, Brown has struck out some of the best Rays, so if you’re willing to take a chance, the over is the way to go.

Odds

Astros are +114. Very reasonable price given the pitching matchup, but I’d stay away without Yordan in the lineup.

Projected Standings

Projecting to 98 wins with the schedule the Astros have played is not a bad thing.

May not mean anything note of the day

Phil Maton has a WHIP of 0.257.
